Neoenergia’s fleet of electric trucks, a subsidiary of Iberdrola in Brazil, has accumulated thousands of kilometers across Limeira, Mairiporã, and the interior of São Paulo.
All of this has been achieved using electric vehicles to carry out maintenance and construction tasks for electrical infrastructure in the country.
This initiative represents a Research, Development, and Innovation project that is integrated into an investment strategy aimed at promoting electric mobility in various regions of Brazil, reinforcing Iberdrola’s commitment to sustainable mobility.

Iberdrola’s Commitment to Electric Mobility
One of Iberdrola’s initiatives is based on the implementation of a control system using telemetry, a technology that enables the remote measurement of physical quantities and the subsequent transmission of data.
Through the automated, real-time monitoring of battery information, it is possible to accurately calculate the need for recharging and identify available charging points along the truck’s planned route.
The vehicles are based on BYD’s T7 truck and have been adapted with specific features according to the project’s demands, including the incorporation of electro-hydraulic aerial baskets and an opportunity charging system connected to the electrical distribution network.
The charger, installed on the truck’s body, can be connected to predefined points in the distributor’s electrical grid.
Additionally, the project aims to boost electric mobility in Brazil across various areas, notably the development of charging infrastructure in the country.
The company is also constructing the “Corredor Verde” a highway stretching over 1,200 kilometers between the states of Bahia and Rio Grande, where 17 charging points have been installed, 12 of which are equipped for fast charging.
