Stellantis Will Transfer Production of the Peugeot 2008 from Porto Real (RJ) to Argentina, Thus Stopping the Production of Passenger Cars in Brazil.

Stellantis made a strategic decision that will impact the positioning of Peugeot and Citroën in the country. From 2024, Peugeot will no longer produce passenger cars in Brazil.

With this change, the production of the Peugeot 2008, currently centered in Porto Real, Rio de Janeiro, will be transferred to Argentina, freeing up space for Citroën at the plant. Citroën plans to add the C3 Aircross to the production line, joining the C3 and C4 Cactus, which are already manufactured on site.

The departure of the Peugeot 2008 means that the French brand will only have one model manufactured in Brazil: the Partner Rapid, a utility derived from the Fiat Fiorino and produced by Stellantis in Betim.

The end of manufacturing of passenger cars in Brazil does not indicate the exit of Peugeot from the country. The brand maintains a strong portfolio across various segments, including electric vehicles such as the e-208 and e-2008, and does not intend to abandon the Brazilian market.

Our colleagues at Auto+ discovered that Peugeot may start a new phase of manufacturing cars in Brazil with an unprecedented model: 1008. It will be a compact SUV smaller than the 2008 and made specifically for emerging markets like Brazil. The launch date for this potential competitor to the Fiat Pulse has not yet been announced.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

Dissatisfied with seeing people sleeping on the street, a man named Ryan Donais started building small mobile homes so that homeless people can escape the cold, each equipped with a bed, running water, electricity, and heating.

Workers were opening a modern road in Dover when they found, 6 meters below the asphalt, a 3,500-year-old boat made of stitched oak and plant fibers.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

Two 17-year-old Kenyans use coconut shells, corn cobs, and recycled materials to create an exhaust filter that reduces 93.3% of pollutant particles and wins an environmental award in Africa.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

Embraced for almost a thousand years in the sacred ground next to a cathedral, two women hold a secret that DNA has only deepened. They were around 40 years old, had no kinship, and what brought them together to the grave no one can say.

Japanese retro sneakers become a sales phenomenon, help Asics achieve record profits, and gain their own operation to target Los Angeles, Milan, and Seoul.

Heavy metals in the sea, fishermen without income, and concerned residents: chemical contamination in São Tomé de Paripe leads Salvador to declare an environmental emergency for 90 days and mobilize municipal agencies.

Elevator work in a hotel in Barcelona descended a few meters and found the lost heart of the Roman city: a monumental 2,000-year-old floor revealed the forum of Barcino and made archaeologists redraw the map of the ancient capital by 90 degrees under the modern city.

Anthropic releases Claude Fable 5 to the public, but the new, more powerful AI from Claude’s owner comes with restrictions in sensitive areas.

New Jeep Scrambler SRT resurfaces with a 6.4 Hemi V8 engine producing 470 hp, rear seats that rotate 180°, a cabin for four occupants, and a removable roof in a project planned for 2030.

Cheaper than a Kwid, this Japanese sedan offers a giant 482-liter trunk, a 1.6 flex aspirated engine, automatic CVT transmission, and six airbags; the Nissan Versa Sense is ideal for those who prioritize interior space, comfort, and affordable maintenance costs.
