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.

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.

Without a course in aerospace engineering and without a dedicated laboratory, USP students launch a rocket with a hybrid engine and bring Project Jupiter to the forefront of aerospace technology.

Goodbye USA! Trips to China soar as the US loses tourists, and the Asian giant dethrones the world’s greatest power and firmly enters the top of global tourism.

Three sailors were injured after a fire broke out on the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower at a shipyard in the USA.

Goodbye to the invisible waste of the home: intelligent systems now combine thermostat, lighting, plugs, and energy monitor into a single platform capable of automating devices, displaying real-time consumption, and operating with standby of up to 0.5 to 1 watt on key devices.

It passed by Earth 170,000 years ago when our ancestors lived in caves and has now returned — a rare comet is visible to the naked eye in the sky this April and may never return again…
