Electric vehicles are getting big investments

The market for electric motorcycles, cars and trucks is growing every year around the world. Several manufacturers are investing heavily in this sector and Brazil is following international trends. Unfortunately, in the country, the high cost of electric vehicles is a big barrier for the population. Therefore, in large cities such as Sao Paulo, city halls are exploring ways to reward users through tax cuts.

Tesla, Elon Musk’s electric car maker, has a strong sales record and is gaining ground even in China, where the company competes with local manufacturers. As the electric vehicle sector receives more investment and develops, electric trucks such as Mercedes-Benz’s eActros LongHaul should take up more and more space, becoming interesting options for long-distance truck drivers.
