Shell, Raízen, and Volkswagen Sign Partnership
The charging stations for electric vehicles in São Paulo are part of a partnership between Raízen, Shell, and Volkswagen do Brasil to promote electrification in the country. The companies also aim to encourage the use of ethanol as a complementary strategy among electric, flex, and hybrid vehicles.
The partnership includes initiatives for installing charging stations for the electric vehicles of the brand and supplying sustainable energy for Volkswagen’s industries and dealership network in the country. In terms of ethanol, Shell’s goal is to develop new formulas for ethanol through its licensee, along with R&D to improve the efficiency of the biofuel.
The German automaker also recently announced a Research and Development Center for Biofuels in the country. The objective is to research the frontiers of ethanol use as a means of electrification via fuel cells, with a focus on export as well.
