The Largest Rainforest In The World Positions Itself As Fertile Ground For Ecological Innovations In The Electric Vehicle Industry.

The Amazon, besides being a symbol of the planet’s rich biodiversity, is establishing itself as a promising hub for electric mobility. This vast green region, filled with natural wealth, offers a universe of possibilities for the electric vehicle industry, especially at a time when fossil fuel prices are high and sustainability is increasingly valued.

Rise and Growth of Electric Mobility

The year 2022 marked a turning point in the electric mobility industry in Brazil. During this period, 49,245 electric vehicles, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, were registered. These vehicles achieved a market share of 2.5% relative to the total number of vehicles registered in the country during the same period. This raised the total electrified fleet in the country to 126,504 vehicles, an impressive growth of 41% compared to the previous year.

The growth trend in electric mobility was not limited to cars. Sales of electric motorcycles and scooters also experienced a significant increase of 346% in the last year. Between January and May 2022, more than 3,000 electric motorcycles were registered in Brazil, a staggering growth of 878% compared to the same period in 2021.

According to Abraciclo, factories located in the Manaus Industrial Hub produced 1,413,222 motorcycles in 2022. This represents an increase of 18.2% compared to 2021 and is the best performance for the sector since 2014. The ten largest motorcycle manufacturers in the country are located in the Amazonian capital and account for over 98% of the motorcycles sold in Brazil.

Although it may seem strange to have an industrial boom in the midst of the Amazon Rainforest, the story begins more than 50 years ago with the Free Trade Zone of Manaus (ZFM). Created in 1957 during the administration of Juscelino Kubitschek, the ZFM aims to attract factories to a sparsely populated region of the country, promoting greater territorial integration.

The ZFM offers attractive tax incentives, such as tax reductions or exemptions and simplification of bureaucratic processes, making it an important job creator in the region.

The increase in electric vehicles in the area is a natural reflection of what the Amazon represents. This sector embodies a combination of innovation, sustainability, autonomy, and urban mobility, all concentrated in the heart of Brazil.

As we move towards a more sustainable future, it is imperative that national policies become more proactive in the clean energy sector. Electric mobility is the future of the sustainable automotive market, and the potential is undeniable. It is a movement that no one would want to miss out on.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

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 in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

China imposes billion-dollar fines on seven e-commerce platforms after violations in food delivery and pressures the sector to correct flaws that affect trust, food safety, and consumer experience.

Scientists have found the most sought-after ingredient for batteries hidden inside a mineral that everyone thought was useless — and the discovery could eliminate the need to open new lithium mines…

Multinational Ocyan opens offshore position for those who want to work on board in Macaé (RJ) as a Piping Designer; the job offers health insurance, life insurance, and more.

Saudi Arabia releases 9 Brazilian fruits at once and opens a billion-dollar market in the Middle East that could transform exports, increase production, and create new jobs in agriculture.
