As part of Latam Mobility & Net Zero Brasil 2026<\/strong>, a panel titled “Multi-energy axis for the decarbonization of heavy transport: renewable energies, biofuels, and hydrogen<\/strong>” took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session brought together experts from the public, private, and innovation sectors to discuss solutions that combine different energy sources for logistics applications and transport corridors. The unanimous conclusion: there is no single solution or “silver bullet.”<\/strong> Instead, the path to Net Zero<\/strong> requires a mix of technologies tailored to each specific situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The panel featured Carlos Garc\u00eda<\/strong> from Troesser & Co. GmbH<\/strong>, and Felipe Salgado<\/strong> from KPMG Brasil<\/strong>. The discussion was moderated by T\u00falio Silva<\/strong> from EMBRAPII<\/strong>, who kicked things off by asking a central question: does the solution lie in scaling up already available technologies, or in constant innovation to find new alternatives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Future is an Orchestra of Technologies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

T\u00falio Silva<\/strong> began by noting that there is no one-size-fits-all answer for logistics and transport decarbonization. “We don’t have a silver bullet,”<\/strong> said the moderator, who emphasized that the real challenge is to orchestrate the best available options: vehicle electrification, renewable energy, biofuels, and hydrogen. Each alternative has its place depending on the region, technical feasibility, and type of fleet or vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlos Garc\u00eda<\/strong> supported this view and shared a phrase that sums up the debate: “In cars, the future is electric. In heavy vehicles, the future is electric, but electricity is a component, not the sole solution.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garc\u00eda explained that while in the consumer segment the cost of transition is spread across millions of buyers, with heavy fleets the investor must buy hundreds of trucks at once. That concentrates the risk and demands much greater support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
