Program to Boost Railway Construction

The Pro Trilhos Program was established by Provisional Measure No. 1,065/21 aimed at increasing the attractiveness of the private sector to invest in railways, whether through new projects or using existing railways.

During the ceremony, requests for railway authorization for the construction of 11 railway segments were signed. Together, the requests total 3,300 kilometers of new tracks and R$ 53.5 billion in investments. The new railways cross cities in nine states across four Brazilian regions: Espírito Santo, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Pernambuco, Piauí, and São Paulo.

With the formalization of the requests, the authorizations will begin to be evaluated by the Ministry of Infrastructure, which is responsible for issuing the approvals, provided that the projects meet all the requirements set by the Federal Government. The Minister of Infrastructure, Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas, stated that the measures taken by the Federal Government in the sector are promoting the largest railway revolution in recent years. “We are celebrating our logistical independence. We are celebrating the recovery of the railway module,” he said.

When we launched #SetembroFerroviário and the new framework for authorized railways, we imagined accommodating 7 requests with R$ 30 billion in investments. In 20 days, there have already been 14 requests for new private railways. R$ 80 billion in works. That is more than 10 times what we have in public budget pic.twitter.com/G3s7elitrw

The Projects That the Government Received

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Astronomers discover black hole wind traveling at 323 million km/h, a speed equivalent to 30% of the speed of light and considered a record.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

A man went to the supermarket in China with the salary of a single day’s work, and what he put in the cart will make any Brazilian question why they pay so much to eat so little.

While scientists test giant balls on the seabed, a startup wants to sink concrete and steel tanks held by cages filled with stones up to 700 meters deep to transform compressed air into an invisible underwater battery.

Former NASA engineer transforms drones into “seed helicopters” capable of firing 300 balls per minute, targeting degraded areas with half-meter precision, and planting up to 40 million trees per year in a new race for aerial reforestation.

The La Galerie Nortis, a real estate launch by developers Cyrela and Nortis in Moema, São Paulo, arrives with apartments featuring 4 suites ranging from 283 to 416 square meters, an estimated gross development value of R$ 765 million, and the proposal to redefine the high standard in the region.
