Market Leader JBS Begins Working with Its New Fleet of Gas-Powered Trucks

JBS subsidiaries, Friboi and Seara, have launched a pilot project for vehicles powered by compressed natural gas, known as CNG. Thus, JBS estimates that 15% of CO² will be reduced compared to diesel-powered truck models. Friboi’s truck travels daily between the towns of Andradina, Lins, and São Paulo, while Seara’s truck follows the route from São Paulo to Duque de Caxias.

JBS Truck Powered by Natural Gas Will Reduce More Than 7,000 Tons of CO²

Annually, the gas-powered truck provides a reduction of 7.6 tons of greenhouse gases, equivalent to emissions generated by 4 passenger cars, or enough to circle the globe in a passenger vehicle. According to JBS, the truck is 100% powered by natural gas and has eight gas cylinders. It is the first fleet of its kind to arrive in Brazil.

In May, Scania will deliver the first fleet of trucks powered by natural gas and/or biomethane in Brazil. This truck, compared to JBS’s, has six gas cylinders.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

Japanese garbage collectors treat filthy trucks as if they were dealership cars, and the obsession with cleanliness is so absurd that they invented a washing machine that only exists for this type of vehicle.

Seen from high in the stratosphere, a Lego Star Devourers rose to 34,988 meters attached to a balloon, returned to Earth intact, and entered the Guinness World Records in a record that seems like science fiction.

In 1991, Brazil’s GDP was almost double India’s, and today it is little more than half: while India grew 6.5% per year and trained engineers, Brazil preferred to train lawyers, and now it is rushing to strengthen ties with the world’s fourth-largest economy.

India built a 21.8-kilometer sea bridge to connect Mumbai to Navi Mumbai, and a journey of up to 120 minutes fell to about 20.

South America’s most famous oasis has an emerald lagoon formed by underground waters in the Peruvian desert. It is located 300 km from Lima, is surrounded by giant dunes, and holds a mysterious mermaid legend.

The electric classic fever resurrected Kombi, Fusca and other street icons, created a billion-dollar market of nostalgia on wheels, and angered collectors who see restomods as an assault against the soul of classics.

The gigantic supersonic Concorde flew so fast that 100 wealthy Americans booked an entire flight to outrun the sunset, pop champagne at Mach 2, and celebrate New Year’s three times.

Massive, isolated and with no crew on board, this “ghost” oil platform operates alone in the middle of the ocean and ushers in a new era in exploration.
