Kits de conversão para veículos a combustão em veículos elétricos e veículos híbridos flex: alternativas para maior eletrificação da frota brasileira

Abstract

Due to the need to reduce the emission of polluting gases, greater energy efficiency and increasingly restrictive norms and regulations, there was a need to study alternatives for the greater electrification of the Brazilian fleet, through vehicle conversion kits to combustion in electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles with flex-fuel technology, object of study of this work. Through qualitative and descriptive research, the main components present in current conversion kits will be presented, their advantages and disadvantages and examples of companies that carry out the conversions or that supply the ready-to-install conversion kits to the market. In addition, the technologies present in hybrid flex vehicles, their main actors in the Brazilian scenario and the role of Brazil in the development of this technology will be analyzed. Finally, some public policies to encourage electric vehicles implemented by several countries that already have a more mature electrification will be demonstrated, in addition to presenting public policies that are carried out in Brazil, in order to compare the initial stage in which the country is. In this question. Therefore, through this work, it was concluded that through effective public actions aimed at electric vehicles and the development of transition technologies such as the conversion of combustion vehicles into electric vehicles and hybrid flex vehicles, it is possible to increase the electrification of Brazilian fleet, mainly due to the country’s energy matrix and its already consolidated ethanol distribution and supply structure.
