Sales of electric vehicles in Brazil almost doubled last year — reaching 93,927 through December, up from just 49,245 the previous year, according to numbers released by Abve, the association of Brazilian electric vehicle producers.
While still a small fraction of the Brazilian fleet – electric vehicles (EVs) make up just 0.5 percent of all vehicles in the country – the growth has exceeded expectations.
At the same time, however, the federal government recently enacted a program to accelerate the decarbonization of the automotive sector, with tax incentives for companies that adapt to sustainability goals. It is expected to sacrifice at least BRL 3 billion (USD 610,800) in taxes.
"The program will allow companies to prepare their investment plans with more clarity, both for light vehicles and heavy vehicles, such as buses and trucks, as well as for electric charging infrastructure," said Ricardo Bastos, head of Abve.
Several companies are set to produce EVs in Brazil in the near future. Chinese automaker BYD, the world''s leading producer of electric vehicles, has begun work to convert a former Ford plant in the northeastern state of Bahia into an EV manufacturing facility.
Shortly after, Stellantis announced that it would manufacture ethanol-powered hybrid vehicles in the automotive hub of Goiana, in the northeastern state of Pernambuco.
The Brazilian Federal Police have concluded their investigation into an alleged coup plot led by far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro and dozens of his acolytes, recommending charges for multiple counts of sedition and crimes against the rule of law.
Under Brazilian law, investigators can only make recommendations, leaving the decision to formally charge suspects to prosecutors. The final report will be submitted to the Supreme Court and the Federal Prosecution Office, which will determine whether to indict the suspects and move forward with the case.
The latest revelations of Brazil''s Federal Police''s investigation into far-right plots to overthrow democracy in 2022 highlight just how close the country came to a coup after that year''s election, in which then-President Jair Bolsonaro was defeated by leftist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Furthermore, the findings expose just how deeply the anti-democratic scheming infiltrated the upper echelons of the Bolsonaro administration.
On Tuesday, the Federal Police arrested five people for an alleged plot to assassinate Lula, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The plan would be to "neutralize" these figures and place a military-led committee in charge of the country, blocking the government transition. One of the men arrested this morning, retired Brigadier General Mario Fernandes, held a position within the administration at the time, working for Mr. Bolsonaro''s general secretary.
Indeed, Brig.-Gen. Fernandes printed out a document detailing the assassination plot from within the presidential office and, also according to the police, the covert plans were discussed at the home of General Walter Braga Netto — Mr. Bolsonaro''s former defense minister, chief of staff, and defeated running mate.
The Federal Police stated that Tuesday''s operation sought to "dismantle a conspiracy that planned to launch a coup d''état" and that the criminals involved used their "expert...
Brazil’s presidency of the G20, marked by the motto "Building a just world and a sustainable planet," concludes this month after the leaders'' summit in Rio de Janeiro on Monday and Tuesday.
Since assuming the group''s presidency in December 2023, Brazil has pioneered initiatives in the environment field, including creating a Task Force that merges the G20''s Sherpa and Finance tracks to address sustainable development and climate change jointly — an integration that, while seemingly obvious, had never before been undertaken at the G20.
Another innovation under Brazil’s leadership was the Bioeconomy Initiative, which brought unprecedented attention to using renewable biological resources to produce goods, services, and energy. The initiative defined high-level principles for advancing this agenda within a multilateral framework.
Despite these achievements, negotiations over the final leaders'' declaration remained contentious in the run-up to the summit, particularly with regard to sustainable development, climate change, and the energy transition. Discussions extended into the weekend, underscoring persistent divisions.
Brazil''s emphasis on sustainability aligns with its renewable energy matrix and the Amazon''s global significance. The government has sought to reestablish the country as a critical player in climate negotiations — though its stance is not...
Over nearly two years, Brazil''s far right has sought to absolve those responsible for the violent January 8, 2023, attack, when thousands of supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed Brazil''s Congress, Supreme Court, and presidential palace. Their aim: to incite a military coup just one week after President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva''s inauguration.
Hard-line conservatives first pushed for a congressional investigation, claiming the assault was a "false-flag" operation staged by the government to undermine their movement. Mr. Bolsonaro''s supporters suggested that leftist infiltrators sabotaged what they described as a peaceful demonstration.
