Government Negotiates to Have a Factory in Brazil for American Luxury Electric Vehicle Manufacturer Tesla; Factory May Be Installed in Santa Catarina

The government is working to bring a factory of the American electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla to Brazil, as stated in a Twitter post on Thursday (20) by federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PSL-SP). TCU approved the privatization of 6 ports in Brazil across 5 states: MA, AP, PA, AL, BA, and PR

It is speculated that the Brazilian government would offer some incentives for a potential Tesla factory in the country, such as financing, tax credits, and even the creation of specific laws to facilitate these operations on national soil. If this materializes, electric cars produced in Brazil could also be exported to Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Colombia, part of the Caribbean, and Mexico.

The negotiation involving the Brazilian government and the company Tesla is being conducted by the Minister of Science, Technology, Innovations, and Communications, Marcos Pontes.

Although there are no confirmations regarding the date and location for the installation of the factory of the world’s largest luxury electric vehicle manufacturer, the destination of Elon Musk’s company, one of the highest earners of the year, is expected to be in Santa Catarina, specifically in the city of Criciúma.

Yesterday (19), federal deputy Daniel Freitas (PSL-SC) reported that the expectation is to install the Tesla factory in Brazil by 2023. Coming to Brazil is opening the way for the expansion of the Latin American market.

According to the public schedule of Minister Marcos Pontes, a meeting took place on the last day 12 between him and Brazilian representatives of the brand, including Anderson Pacheco, senior production engineer at Tesla.

Deputy Daniel Freitas is the author of a bill currently in Congress to exempt IPI and import tax for vehicles powered exclusively by electric energy. The exemption would last until 2029 and would include vehicles produced in Brazil and their batteries.

Sales of electric vehicles in Brazil have been growing and encouraging some launches, including a hybrid model from Toyota that runs on ethanol. GM launched the Bolt model in the country last year, imported from the USA, and Renault is already selling the Zoe and Leaf models in Brazil.

In 2019, sales of hybrid and electric vehicles in Brazil totaled 11,844 units, up from 3,965 in 2018, according to data from the automotive manufacturers association, Anfavea.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state wants to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

Without bricks, without cement, and without endless construction: the cardboard house that is assembled in modules and can be moved.

Without bricks, without cement, and without endless construction: the cardboard house that is assembled in modules and can be moved.

Government unlocks R$ 554 million for a highway that has been requested for decades and accelerates the duplication of BR.

Tire road? Thousands of shredded tires were secretly placed under a ramp in California, preventing a one-year delay in a project on weak soil and supporting a 26-foot-high structure in a corridor connected to I-880.

Brazilian giant expands borders in the Southeast: Petrobras confirms new oil discovery in ultra-deep waters in the pre-salt of the Campos Basin.

Alert in the global energy market: Severe tropical cyclone hits the coast and disrupts gas production at major plants in Australia, threatening global supply.

New technology with lights is being tested in the most dangerous stretch of Serra do Mar in Paraná to alert drivers, reduce delayed reactions, and try to curb the rise in deaths on the highway.

Rio Grande do Sul accelerates energy transition: State invests in renewable technologies and consolidates decarbonization strategies and pathways to attract billions in new industrial investments.

In just three hours, a natural stone floor transforms the entrance of the house with an organic effect, immediate drainage, and a sophisticated non-slip finish that doesn’t puddle water, dries quickly, and impresses with the final result.

‘Interlocking brick’ made of earth arrives in the construction industry with cost reductions of up to 40% on the project.

Espírito Santo will receive the largest engineering project in its history with the duplication of BR 262, which will have 50 viaducts, 28 bridges, and 2-kilometer tunnels cutting through the most challenging mountainous region of the entire state.

A project of nearly 9 million reais already has the first kilometer paved in Santa Catarina and promises to completely transform the access between Jaraguá do Sul and Rio dos Cedros in an area where tourism is growing at a rapid pace.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.
