We have just defined a new future for Brazil and the turbulence following the electoral process still provokes a lot of insecurity in the market as a whole, especially in the transportation sector. The uncertainties of the near future, still without clear signals, paralyze investment decisions in production, as well as leave the financial market vulnerable, also causing a currency devaluation.
We believe that all of this will pass, but until there is a minimal predictability of the political scenario, the transportation sector will only benefit at the end of the year from the increase in demand due to seasonal festivities, but with no clear projections for 2023.
We know that the speed of investments in generating more energy to meet productive growth will also have impacts, not only on construction slowdown and job generation but also on the social structure, especially in regions close to the new wind and solar parks.

Recycled tire asphalt, Wi-Fi, and electric charging: meet the smart highway that is changing the future of Brazilian roads.

Engineers are assembling 89 blocks of 73,500 tons like giant Lego at the bottom of the Baltic Sea at a depth of 40 meters to create the world’s largest underwater tunnel between Germany and Denmark.

Switzerland has hidden more than 1,400 tunnels beneath the Alps with 2,000 km of tracks, invested $10 billion over 14 years, and has already removed 33% of trucks from the mountain roads.

New smart radar starts fining those who drive alone, and technology is already changing rules on busy roads in Europe.
The equation of all this conditions a reduction in investments with a consequent decrease in job opportunities, also reducing consumption and production.
We know that even exports will not compensate for the reduction in internal consumption, as the world is also experiencing a crisis due to the influences of the war in Ukraine and the persistent effects of Covid.
The transportation sector has always been very resilient, and we cannot lose our optimism and hope, but our part in this challenge lies in taking the reins to determine our future.
We, as transporters, are not just a passive process of moving products and goods; we also generate wealth, investments, jobs, and social stability.
The year 2023 will be proportional to the intensity of what we fight for every day. We in the transportation sector are no different from other economic segments, but we are part of the common desire for stability and economic growth. We hope everyone will grow and that progress will be made with all the changes to come.
