An amendment to the so-called Mover Program supported by the Brazilian Electric Vehicle Association (ABVE) gives space to the growth of electromobility and attracts investments for the manufacturing of electric and hybrid vehicles in Brazil.
The Chamber of Deputies approved last Tuesday (5/28) the Green Mobility and Innovation Program (Mover), including in the final text an amendment that provides incentives for electric bicycles. The implementation of the program is considered decisive to develop electromobility and accelerate the decarbonization of the countrys transportation matrix.
“Move is a great step forward for the Brazilian automotive industry and, at the same time, represents a healthy line of continuity with previous programs, such as Inovar Auto and Rota 2030,” said ABVE president Ricardo Bastos. “It is a public policy that opens space for the growth of electromobility, to support technological research by Brazilian companies and, above all, to attract investments for the manufacturing of electric and hybrid vehicles in Brazil,” he added.
The ABVE celebrated the approval (by 273 votes to 111) of the amendment that reestablishes incentives for the production of electric bicycles and common bicycles in Mover.
These incentives, provided for in preliminary versions of the program, had been left out of the text published on December 30, 2023 by the Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Innovation (MDIC), and have now been reinstated by the deputies.
The ABVE worked intensively for electric bicycles in the Mover, with the support of parliamentarians from the Parliamentary Electromobility Front in the National Congress.
ABVE also highlighted the speed with which the matter was processed in Congress. “The fact that a program of such complexity has been approved by the House in just five months is testimony to the relevance of the issue and the broad consensus reached between different industrial sectors and parliamentary leaders. Brazil now has a safer and more innovative path towards electromobility,” concluded the president of ABVE. |
