Electric Buses of Transcol Feature Mercedes-Benz Chassis, Caio Body, and WEG Electric Motors and Batteries

WEG announced, in a relevant fact, that it was one of the partners in the development of four electric buses, providing inverters, electric motors, and batteries for a new fleet of Transcol, the metropolitan public transport system of Vitória, in Espírito Santo.

The vehicles that are 100% nationally manufactured, being the first electric buses produced in Latin America, are part of a set of investments made by the operating consortia in partnership with the Government of the State of Espírito Santo.

Electric Giant Has a Range of Up to 150km, 12.5 Meters Long, and Capacity for 70 Passengers

Called e-bus, the electric buses have a range to cover 120 to 150km with opportunity charging, and a maximum speed of 60km/h.

WEG is Determined to Gain Ground in Electric Mobility and Launches Battery Packs for Electric Vehicles

Determined to gain ground in electric mobility, WEG recently announced the production of battery packs for electric vehicles. The packs are customizable, involving several modules, lithium-ion cells, and electronic management systems, cooling, and safety systems, among other items.

The new e-buses also include WEG’s Powertrain technology, consisting of motors and inverters for the traction and auxiliary systems that also have battery regeneration functions. All items are of national design and production, eligible to be financed through FINAME.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

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.

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.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

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.

Nasal spray developed in Texas surprises scientists by reducing brain inflammation and rekindles hope against Alzheimer’s and dementia.

The Supreme Court approved Ferrogrão by nine votes to one, the railway that had been stalled for five years and is expected to provide a shorter route for soybeans from Mato Grosso to flow towards the north of the country.

While rural areas in Namibia suffer from invasive bushes that destroy pastures, a project transforms the brush into edible mushrooms and biological blocks, creating housing and income for local communities affected by the housing deficit.
