Investments in the Brazilian electricity related sectors is expected to reach over $100 billion by 2029. For example, Petrobras plans to invest $3.7 billion in decarbonization and $0.6 billion in biofuel projects and renewable diesel projects. These investments represent business opportunities for U.S. auto companies supplying to the following sectors:
- Electric vehicle charging infrastructure
- Electric vehicle post-market surveillance
- Vehicle-to-grid technology

To succeed in Brazil, U.S. companies must either be established in-country, or have a well-informed local representative. It is important to have a distributor or systems integrator that can offer post-sales and maintenance services, offering replacement parts and repairs. Whether introducing a product to the market independently, or entering with an existing local partner, it is necessary to have a well-designed market entry strategy to penetrate the Brazilian market.
