Volkswagen Vehicle Manufacturer Claims It Will Use Only Ethanol in Its Truck Fleet in Brazil

Focused on reducing CO2 emissions, the Volkswagen vehicle manufacturer claims that it will use only ethanol in its truck fleet, avoiding the emission of 1,700 tons of gases per year and committing to its Global Program.

Announcement Made by the CEO of Volkswagen Highlights the Use of Ethanol

According to Pablo Di Si, President & CEO of Volkswagen in Latin America, ethanol is a biofuel with low carbon emissions and is also a renewable and clean source of energy. It has sustainability throughout its chain, considering the well-known concept of “well-to-wheel,” that is, from its acquisition, transport, and refining, to its use in the engines and exhausts of the trucks.

Ethanol is essential when it comes to reducing carbon emissions from the automotive industry. Volkswagen, recognizing the importance of ethanol, will supply its flex-fuel trucks in its internal fleet with the biofuel.

The Second Wave of Ethanol in Brazil

Although beneficial and bringing various advantages to slow climate change, estimates for the biofuel suggest that, within a decade, it will be necessary to inject about 20 billion liters of ethanol per year.

According to Luís Carlos Júnior Jorge, president of the National Center for Sugar-Energy and Biofuels Industries (Ceise BR), Brazil has a great chance of being left out of this second wave due to the cost of doing business in Brazil.

According to Jorge, Brazilians are not competitive due to the burden of taxes. However, we have time to fix the situation and position the Brazilian base industry in the ethanol market that is about to arrive.

Always thinking about sustainability, Volkswagen created the e-Delivery, the first electric truck in mass production in Brazil, which is being manufactured in Resende (RJ).

The electric trucks in the line have been fully developed and tested in Brazil and are making history in the country. The e-Delivery trucks have a PBT of 11 tons, a 4×2 drive, and feature a 348 horsepower engine with 233 kgfm, which is mounted under the cabin, in the same place as diesel-powered trucks.

Is a smart plug worth it in a regular home? What does it offer: turns on and off via smartphone, creates routines by schedule, prevents forgotten devices, sometimes monitors consumption, and improves habits without renovation or miracles.

Geographers redefine the Brazilian relief and confirm the presence of mountains in 14 states with a new system that changes historical criteria and alters the way the territory is classified.

Archaeologists have discovered a colossal submerged wall in the Atlantic, dating back 7,000 years and weighing 3,300 tons, regarded as the largest prehistoric submerged structure ever found in France.

There is a city in China right next to Hong Kong where people speak Portuguese, the streets have names in Portuguese, and the architecture looks like it came straight out of a historic city in Brazil.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

The chamber approves a project that transforms plots of up to 2,000 square meters into official rural properties, allowing thousands of small producers who were invisible to the government to now access credit, tax exemptions, and technical assistance.

Most drivers make a big mistake on the road without knowing: there is an exact speed that makes the engine work with minimal effort and saves much more fuel, and it is neither 80 km/h nor 100 km/h as many imagine.

MetSul issues alert for 72 hours of severe weather in the South of Brazil with an extratropical cyclone, a line of instability, and a cold front that will hit Rio Grande do Sul from Monday to Wednesday with strong winds and heavy rain.

Mechanic explains: Ferrari 296 has a hybrid system management failure that can drain the high-voltage battery to an “irrecoverable” point in the car; recovery requires charging cell by cell on a bench, is risky, and the battery can cost R$ 250,000 imported.

Army military bases in the Amazon will gain solar power plants that promise to eliminate almost 11 thousand tons of CO2 in 15 years, and the jungle that protects Brazil will now also generate clean energy with an investment of nearly 10 million reais.
