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.

”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”.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The atmosphere of Venus is so dense that it managed to reverse the entire rotation of the planet over billions of years, a study published in Nature Astronomy reveals that being on the surface would be like sinking into an ocean of 475 degrees Celsius.

Government announces more than R$ 7 billion in investments in Amazonas on a single Wednesday, the package includes a controversial highway, energy for 75,000 people in communities, new ports, and the largest order in the Brazilian naval industry in a year.

Goodbye squeegee and cloth on the window: robot cleans windows by itself for up to 110 minutes, covers 55 m² per charge, and uses 12 layers of protection to prevent falling during cleaning.

Manufactured in China, the 300-ton steam balloon that is the heart of the world’s largest recovery boiler was hoisted to almost 100 meters high at the future Arauco plant in Inocência, marking a milestone in the $4.6 billion project in Mato Grosso do Sul.

Mayor in Maranhão inaugurates wooden bridge that could cost close to R$ 300,000, project is called “medieval” on social media and goes viral after official video
