After approving a massive $1.4 billion investment to boost electric mobility in Brazil over the next four years, General Motors is taking another step towards the adoption of sustainable mobility by reinforcing its long-term electrified vision.
“Our future is electric, (that’s) unquestionable, and no one will turn back on that,” declared Fabio Rua, Vice President of Public Policy for South America at General Motors, whose statement makes clear the company’s stance on the transition to more sustainable and eco-friendly vehicles.
Historically, Brazil has been an essential part of the company’s investments worldwide, and now General Motors is demonstrating its contribution to the country’s sustainable development, as this investment focuses on the manufacture of electric vehicles and the promotion of charging infrastructures and public policies that encourage sustainable mobility.

Fabio Rua also revealed that, at some point, Brazil could witness the introduction of electric streetcars, vital for more environmentally friendly transportation options.
However, the implementation of this vision will depend largely on market conditions and general acceptance by society.
In line with this statement of commitment, General Motors plans to launch two new electric models in the Brazilian market through its Chevrolet brand this year: a premium SUV and the Equinox EV, set to expand the supply of electric vehicles in Brazil.
Finally, with an emphasis on reducing emissions and creating a positive environmental impact, General Motors is betting heavily on electric and hybrid vehicles in Brazil, ready to cover the vast geographic extension of the nation.
