Hilux: Solid Among Mid-Size Pickups

The Hilux, although dethroned by the Saveiro in the overall count, maintains leadership among mid-size pickups. With its robustness and established reputation, the Japanese pickup is expected in its hybrid version soon.

The new model is set to begin assembling in Argentina starting in 2025, with a 48V system, reinforcing the electrification trend in the segment.

Intense Competition for Other Positions

In fifth place is the Ford Ranger, with 2,612 units, approaching the Chevrolet S10 (2,064), which received updates in April and shows growth potential. The Chevrolet Montana, in turn, remains in seventh, with 2,049 units, targeting the segment led by the Fiat Toro.

The Montana may gain heavyweight competitors soon, with launches like the Renault Niagara and the Volkswagen Tarok, expanding the competition.

Ram Rampage and Volkswagen Amarok Growing

In eighth place, with 1,566 units, the Ram Rampage shows progress, although it still needs more strength to compete directly with the leading mid-size pickups. Just behind is the Volkswagen Amarok (902 units), which recently underwent updates.

Tenth is the Renault Oroch, which is set to be replaced by the Renault Niagara, with production in Argentina planned for 2026.

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.

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.

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.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

Study solves great ancient mystery: remains of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, are identified in Vergina and resolves the enigma of the Macedonian royal tombs that had lasted half a century.

Larger than the Toyota Hilux and with a towing capacity of 3.5 tons, the new MG U9 2026 features a 2.5 turbodiesel engine, 520 Nm, 4×4 traction with three locks, and an almost full-size build.

The Brazilian Army is about to finalize one of the largest military purchases in recent years with Italy, consisting of 96 Centauro 2 armored vehicles with 120 mm cannons and three anti-aircraft batteries unprecedented in the country, including armed drones under negotiation.

Now NASA comes: Brazilian transforms pickups into “war tanks” in Goiânia by replacing wheels with giant tracks costing up to R$ 120,000 to tackle mud, farms, and impossible terrains.

Another Chinese giant prepares to enter Brazil: BAIC bets on the Arcfox T1, an electric hatchback that promises to compete with the BYD Dolphin, BYD Dolphin Mini, and Geely EX2 with a larger size and a range of up to 425 km.

The “freshwater lid” that worries scientists: Greenland melts, could weaken Atlantic currents and is already being monitored by robots, satellites, and artificial intelligence before altering the climate in the coming decades.
