Increase In Gasoline Prices Leads To Gas Vehicles Being Much More Sought After In Brazil

The Federation of Industries of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Firjan) raised information that installations of gas vehicle kits increased by 15% across Brazil and 11% in the state of Rio de Janeiro in just the first half of 2021. The data was collected at the request of the Union of Vehicle Repair and Accessories Industry of Rio de Janeiro (Sindirepa). The increase in gasoline prices is the main driver.

The search for GNV has increased significantly, mainly due to the uncontrollable rise in gasoline prices in 2021. So far, there have been six price hikes, with a cumulative increase of 54% at refineries. Because of this, GNV gains even more strength as a great alternative to cut costs for maintaining a vehicle in 2021.

GNV is increasingly used due to its much lower cost per kilometer compared to gasoline. Firjan highlights that for every real spent on gasoline, drivers can travel two and a half times more with GNV. The federation also emphasizes that GNV is much more sought after in Rio de Janeiro, with 75% of the gas market in the state.

Increase In Fuels Leads To Surge In Demand For GNV In Brazil

”GNV in Rio is a success story because it’s not just about the IPVA discount that makes it more attractive. There is also the reduction of polluting levels for society”, emphasized Mattos in a statement on the Portalviu website, the vice-president of Firjan. One of the reasons for the greater use in Rio de Janeiro is due to tax incentives. GNV vehicle owners receive a discount on IPTA in several states, but the discount in Rio is much larger.

Carlos Mattos also highlights that the growing demand for GNV creates jobs in the sector: ”When there is an increase in demand for installations, it generates new jobs and, consequently, more revenue and income for the state. In other words, it is a virtuous cycle”.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

NASA announces the first interplanetary nuclear spacecraft in history destined for Mars and technology created to usher in a new era in deep space exploration: meet the SR-1 Freedom, equipped with a fission reactor and three helicopters inspired by Ingenuity to map Martian ice.

With 93 companies selling armored vehicles, aircraft, and monitoring systems to 148 countries, Brazil’s defense industry is doubling exports and is on track to break all records in 2026.

Brazil and Sweden finalize a military agreement to jointly train pilots, share experiences with the Gripen fighter, and allow Swedish crews of the KC-390 to train on Brazilian soil over the next two years.

Scientists warn that Earth’s oxygen has an expiration date and that the Sun itself will be responsible for ending the air we breathe by making photosynthesis impossible in about one billion years.

Science reveals that the error in the expansion of the cosmos is not a measurement flaw, but rather a sign that the universe may be hiding new physics capable of changing everything we know.

More than R$ 526 million generated in oil in 2025 was not enough to place Espírito Santo in the lead of innovation — and the data shows exactly where the bottleneck is.

With salaries of up to R$ 30,000 and 2,500 open positions, a shipyard in Aracruz (ES) is at the center of a billion-dollar project by Petrobras that involves platforms capable of producing 225,000 barrels per day.
