#Brazil Staggering 🔺1,120% increase in April for BEVs and a comparatively “slow” 210% growth for PHEVs, for 505% EV growth in total. Averaging over 2 million vehicles sold every year, Brazil’s market is by far the largest in Latin America. Taking into account its rapid EV transition, Brazil has now become the largest EV market in the region, and it’s unlikely to ever lose this distinction. Market share has risen from 1.1% in April 2023 to 4.7% in April 2024, and up to 4.8% through the first four months in 2024. Three Chinese brands (GWM, BYD, & Chery) have set up shop in Brazil and gotten the first seven spots in the top ten. 📖Source https://lnkd.in/gfze6E5e #IONAXS #CleanMobility #eMobility #ElectricCars  #FutureMobility #Batteries #Automotive  #ElectricVehicles #AutonomousVehicles  #EV #Lithium #Innovation #Sustainability  #Recycling #Future #Energy #Efficiency #Technology #AVEVAI #TomTsogt 🔔👍

What's on the table? Holding back the Chinese EV wave! #Europe imposes up to 48% #tariffs on #Chinese #EVs, all while the #US remains with its 100% tariff on these vehicles. Meanwhile, both BYD Brasil and GWM Brasil kicking off manufacturing in #Brazil. Good ideas? and what about Tesla? #FleetMobilityToday #BYD #GWM #Tesla Fleet Mobility Today

This is the common strategy which has been implemented over tens of years mainly for cost reduction propose, however do not think that it is "deduction of quality". Those companies, such as Stellantis, has really sophisticated engineering specs, rules, guidelines which actively developped over decades to draw project boundries, steer design/development activities etc. With lead of experienced senior collegues/managers/ESs, the output of the work is going to be as same quality as States. Stellantis also should consider Türkiye for engineering activities as there are highly experianced and educated engineers already working on multiple engineering centers in Türkiye. #Stellantis #carlostaraves T.C.

#Brazil: New production hub for chinese #ElectricVehicles. ➡ Chinese companies are turning their attention to Brazil for the manufacturing of #EVs. ✅ With higher tariffs on EV and hybrid vehicle imports set to take effect in Brazil in July, several Chinese automakers have ramped up their investments in local production. 👉 BYD has begun constructing a manufacturing complex in Brazil, with plans to start local production by the end of this year or early 2025. 👉 Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd.(#GreatWallmotors) has also announced that its Brazil plant will begin operations this month. ➡ These strategic moves aim to capitalize on the growing Brazilian market and bypass the limitations imposed by the European Union and the United States on imports of Chinese electric vehicles. ➡ In April, Brazil became the second-largest export destination for Chinese cars, only behind Russia, which remains the top export market due to Western sanctions. ✅ During the first four months of the year, Chinese car exports to Brazil surged 536%, reaching 106,448 units. ➡ Meanwhile, other markets such as Mexico, Australia, and ASEAN are also being actively explored by Chinese manufacturers in response to European restrictions. ✅ In this context, Chinese exports to Mexico rose 27%, reaching 148,705 units. ➡ This interest in local production in Brazil is driven not only by tariffs but also by a strategy of expansion and consolidation in the Latin American market, positioning China as a leader in the global automotive industry. https://lnkd.in/g2VWvcEx #AutomotiveIndustry #ElectricVehicles #China #Brazil #Investments #LocalProduction #AutomotiveInnovation #Automotriz #Automotive #Automoción #eMobility #Batteries #Baterías #ElectricVehicles #EV

🔌🚗Affordability is the key to making EVs popular in Brazil The International Energy Agency (IEA) this week released its Global EV Outlook, highlighting how most of the electric vehicle market growth has been driven by China. Not only was the country the destiny of 60 percent of all EVs sold last year — against 35 percent in Europe and the U.S. combined — but its manufacturers are boosting the market export numbers, especially in emerging economies of Southeast Asia and Latin America. In Brazil, EVs now have a 3 percent market share, thanks to cheaper models from Chinese brands such as BYD and Great Wall Motors (GWM Brasil), which account for about 35 percent of all imported EVs in the country. 🔗Read more in our full article by Fabiane Ziolla Menezes here 👇 https://lnkd.in/d9iq8UCy #ClimateChange #Energy #Transport #Brazil

Nowadays one kind of electrified cars offered by the global automotive industry, and also in Brazil is advancing in sales more and more, facing huge concern about where I will find an electric car charge station to charge my battery, it is the segment of PHEV´s. (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle). And in Brazil they are selling almost the same amount of HEV´s (Hybrid Electric Vehicle), but why? Plug-in hybrids, or PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), are those that combine electric engines and larger batteries charging from an external source. In other words, these cars can be recharged at electric vehicle stations, like a cellphone. The big advantage of plug-in hybrids is the autonomy, which is slightly higher compared to other hybrid types. Some cars in this category can travel up to 200 km without using a single drop of fuel. And the automotive industry is developing new PHEV versions with more than 300 km battery autonomy.  The main plug-in hybrid cars in Brazil are GWM Haval H6 PHEV, BYD Song Plus, Jeep Compass 4xe, Mini Countryman, Porsche Cayenne and Volvo XC60. These PHEVs are the vehicles helping to break the prejudice and current availability and infrastructure for charging stations in long distance roads, because if your battery dies, you continue driving using your internal combustion engine (ICE).

Happy to have been invited to Automotive Europe by Reuters to be one of three keynote speakers together with Carlos Tavarez of Stellantis and Istvan Kapitany of Shell. Very interesting meeting of the industry discussing the current topics in automotive. Top of the list is the question what to expect from the Chinese competition. Carlos Tavarez was very outspoken in how cost competitive Chinese vehicles are - he saw a 30% cost advantage ex works. In my speech I highlighted the opportunity there for both consumers and the environment: finally BEVs will become affordable. Stellantis as well as Arno Antlitz, CFO and COO of Volkswagen Group and I were very much united in our rejection of further tariffs for Chinese BEVs. This would increase inflation inside the protected area (BEVs will become more rather than less expensive), it will not help the OEMs to become more efficient, and Chinese OEMs – including us – will definitely set up local production and be highly competitive anyhow. Taking competition head on will be the right choice, and would be to the benefit of the consumer and environment – everybody should remember what happened in the mobile phone industry. I was happy to share with the attendees that in 2012 I was part of a study that conclusively proved that BEVs would never make sense (cost was just too high just for the raw material of the batteries), only now to see that we have reached levels of efficiency that made all of the conclusions at the time utterly wrong. Innovation, once unleashed and physically possible, can take routes previously unimaginable. Listening two days to all the changes in the industry it is very clear that the future of mobility will be battery electrical.

How Important it is to understand the diversity and inclusion. When a leader embrace the power of diversity enable the sense of belonging and results are great achievements. I finished the trainning “Diversidade, Inclusão e Senso de Pertencimento” de Pat Wadors! Confira em: https://lnkd.in/dhW3cSm5 #diversidadeeinclusão.
