Environment: In this section, statements will be made about environmental impacts related to the age of the motor vehicle fleet, technological aspects and their impacts, energy efficiency and regulatory aspects.
|
1. The insertion of more efficient and less polluting vehicle models (cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks and buses) in the Brazilian market will only occur through the regulatory obligation through the adoption of strict standards of emissions and consumption. |
2. The creation of maximum limits for the age of the current fleet would stimulate the demand for new vehicles. |
3. The adoption, by Brazil, of emission and consumption standards following the same criteria/parameters adopted by the USA, European Union and Japan would be a facilitator for Brazilian exports. |
4. The insertion of more efficient and less polluting vehicle models (cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks and buses) in the Brazilian market without the respective removal of more polluting vehicles does not actually bring environmental gains. |

Vehicle Safety: In this section, statements will be made about the impacts of replacing the fleet of motor vehicles on vehicle safety.
|
1. The insertion of safer vehicle models (cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks and buses) with technologies such as stability control (ESC), advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and other vehicle safety assistive technologies, will only occur through regulatory obligation through the adoption of strict safety standards |
2. The adoption by Brazil of vehicle safety standards following the same criteria/parameters adopted by the USA, European Union and Japan would be a facilitator for Brazilian exports. |
3. The insertion of safer vehicle models (cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks and buses) in the Brazilian market without the respective removal of less safe vehicles does not actually increase road safety. |
4. The adoption by Brazil of vehicular safety standards following the same criteria/parameters adopted by the USA, European Union and Japan would bring gains of scale and consequent reduction in the costs of vehicular systems. |
Tax: In this section, statements will be made about the tax and fiscal impacts related to the replacement of the fleet of motor vehicles and related topics (technological level and regulation).
|
1. Considering that the major suppliers of auto parts and systemists installed in Brazil are multinationals with global supply, that the production processes implemented by them in Brazil have the same technological level as those applied in other major markets, the elimination of the import tax on auto parts would bring greater competitiveness for the automotive sector.. |
2. The reduction in the rates of direct taxes on the sale of vehicles would have the net effect of reducing the prices effectively practiced by the automakers in the market and, as a consequence, more sales. |
3. Changing the IPVA collection to a model based on increasing values indexed to the age of the vehicle and emissions (older and more polluting vehicles pay more) would stimulate the reduction of the age of the fleet. |
4. The unification of federal taxes on the sale of vehicles and parts (PIS/COFINS and IPI) into a single tax with a single rate and on the added value would bring benefits to the production chain. |
Credit: In this section, statements will be made about the impact of credit on the sale of vehicles and as a tool to stimulate the automotive sector.
|
1. The credit for the purchase of new commercial vehicles, especially trucks, is a sales limiter equally applicable to fleet owners and autonomous truck drivers. |
2. New business models, such as car servitization (car as a service) are a viable alternative to the scarcity of credit for the purchase of new cars. |
3. The use of subsidized credit programs, along the same lines as programs for housing, would be an alternative for stimulating and reducing the cost of financing the acquisition of new vehicles. |
4. The simple generalized offer of subsidized credit is not a viable instrument in the long term. |
Exchange: In this section, statements will be made about the impacts of the exchange rate on the automotive sector.
|
1. The devaluation of the Real against the US Dollar and the EURO created an opportunity for the export of automotive goods and services, making Brazil more competitive in the global automotive sector. |
2. The depreciated Real boosted foreign investment in the Brazilian automotive sector, as it became cheaper to develop and manufacture in Brazil. |
3. The depreciated Real puts pressure on the value of commodities, especially metallic commodities, which brings great volatility to the Brazilian automotive market. |
4. The devaluation of the Real against the US Dollar and the EURO created a natural barrier to imports, which strengthens the local ecosystem of the automotive sector. |

Supply Chain: In this section, statements will be made about the impacts of replacing the fleet of motor vehicles in the supply chain of the automotive sector.
|
1. Considering that the major suppliers of auto parts and systemists installed in Brazil are multinationals with global supply, it can be assumed that the production processes implemented by them in Brazil have the same technological level as those applied in other major markets, which makes our supply chain Highly competitive local supplies. |
2. The creation of maximum limits for the age of the current fleet would stimulate the demand for new vehicles and consequently the demand for parts and components. |
3. The lack of predictability of production/sales volumes directly affects supply chain costs. |
4. The technological level of local suppliers constitutes an important gap in the supply chain of the Brazilian automotive sector. |
Industrial Processes: In this section, statements will be made about the technological impacts on industrial processes in the automotive sector.
|
1. The industrial processes of companies installed in Brazil (assemblers, manufacturers and auto parts) are highly technological and competitive. |
2. The Brazilian automotive industry makes extensive use of tools and elements of the so-called “Industry 4.0” as a way to gain productivity in its manufacturing processes. |
3. The industrial processes of multinational companies installed in Brazil (assemblers, manufacturers and auto parts) are at the same technological level as the main global markets. |
4. The mandatory local execution of a minimum number of manufacturing activities for auto parts suppliers would strengthen the local ecosystem with the creation of critical mass, which would make the supply chain more competitive. |
Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) Ecosystem: In this section, statements about the R, D&I ecosystem of the automotive sector will be made.
|
1. The automakers, auto parts manufacturers and systemists installed in Brazil have a robust research, development and innovation infrastructure locally, capable of locally developing, testing and validating state-of-the-art technologies. |
2. In Brazil, there is a culture of bringing the productive ecosystem closer to universities and research centers |
3. The creation of R, D&I infrastructure shared between universities, research centers and industry would enhance the technological densification of the automotive industry and create new opportunities for the sector. |
4. The creation of a program and a specific fund for the automotive sector, with a focus on nascent companies, would be an alternative for the development of a genuinely Brazilian automotive industry. |
