📋 Tender Overview
The Electromobility Notebook for road transport of the Ten-Year Energy Expansion Plan (PDE) 2034 was launched this Thursday (08/29) by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) and the Energy Research Company (EPE). The publication presents the international and national contexts on the sector, in addition to presenting the perspectives for the electrification of light and heavy vehicles in the country.
The document shows that electromobility is emerging as one of the alternatives for decarbonizing national road transport. The notebook allows us to foresee, over the ten-year period, the increase in electrified vehicles (hybrid and electric), replacing more than 28.6 billion liters of gasoline equivalent for light vehicles and another 6.3 and 2.0 billion liters of diesel oil in buses and trucks, respectively.
"For the energy transition in the transport and mobility sector in Brazil, we are betting on diversity, on the plurality of sources and technologies. The combination of biofuels with electrification, and gains in energy efficiency, are the way forward", highlighted Minister Alexandre Silveira.
The challenges to electromobility include the high prices of models, the need to expand charging infrastructure and the profile of the local manufacturing park (with a focus on hybrids), which encourage the penetration of electrified vehicles in the premium market and for consumers in higher-income segments.
The booklet also estimates that, in 2034, electrified light vehicles will represent 18% of licenses in this category, totaling 694 thousand units, and the hybrid and electric fleet will reach 3.7 million vehicles.
For heavy-duty vehicles, projections indicate that electrification should advance in niches, such as last-mile delivery by light commercial vehicles and light trucks (16% of registrations), and urban buses (26% share). For semi-heavy and heavy-duty trucks, hybrid and natural gas technologies should expand more than electric vehicles, with diesel combustion maintaining its dominance (93% of sales in 2034).
Finally, the document presents several Brazilian possibilities for a low-carbon economy, due to the potential in the production of bioenergy and hydroelectric energy, with prospects for significant wind and solar generation. In this context, electromobility emerges as one of the alternatives for decarbonizing national road transport.
