Ceará Advances in Sustainable Mobility with Announcement of Electric Car Production by General Motors in the Automotive Hub of Horizonte. The Chevrolet Spark EUV Will Be the First Model Manufactured in the State.

The Brazilian automotive sector has just gained a new boost. The Automotive Hub of Ceará confirmed that General Motors (GM) will be the first automaker to manufacture 100% electric vehicles at the facility in Horizonte, according to news published by Opinião CE this Monday, September 8.

Production is expected to start by the end of November, marking a decisive step toward innovation and sustainability.

Chevrolet Spark EUV Will Be Produced in the State

According to Governor Elmano de Freitas (PT), the model chosen to kick off this new phase is the Chevrolet Spark EUV. The announcement was met with enthusiasm by the state government, which highlighted the project’s importance for the future of mobility. “It reinforces our commitment to sustainable mobility,” declared the governor.

Structure and Assembly in Ceará

GM has signed a contract with the Ceará Automotive Plant (PACE), owned by the Comexport group, to carry out vehicle assembly. In this first phase, the parts will be imported and assembled directly at the Horizonte factory.

However, the trend is that, in the medium term, the project will encourage the formation of a regional supply chain, including companies for batteries, software, and electrical components.

According to Danilo Serpa, president of the Ceará Development Agency (Adece), the impact of production goes beyond job generation. “The expected impact, besides economic, will be technological, attracting research centers and startups related to smart mobility, strengthening the local innovation ecosystem,” he stated.

Comexport as a Strategic Partner

The Automotive Hub of Ceará was announced in August 2024 and has Comexport as its anchor, the largest Brazilian foreign trade and supply chain company. The company already works with giants such as Mercedes-Benz, Honda, BYD, GWM, Renault, Ford, Volvo, Toyota, Volkswagen, Porsche, and other global automakers.

This partnership enhances the prospects for the hub’s success and strengthens Ceará’s international presence in the automotive sector.

The arrival of General Motors in the State represents not only an industrial investment but a strategic milestone for the future of electric mobility in Brazil.

With large-scale production and technological support, Ceará positions itself as a protagonist in the national landscape and reinforces its importance on the path to energy transition.
