Abstract

With the urgency of reducing the emission of polluting gases into the atmosphere and recognizing that the transport sector is a major bottleneck in this issue, the objective of this project is to analyze scenarios for reducing carbon dioxide from the electrification of automobiles in the metropolitan region of São Paulo. Paulo, throughout the migration period of the current fleet. The analysis will be carried out by comparing the current emission of the present fleet with the projection of scenarios for the transition from combustion cars to electric vehicles. The expected result is, in addition to quantifying the reduction in carbon dioxide, estimating how long it will take for the electrification of automobiles to be consolidated in Brazil, analyzing whether this is a viable alternative for the country and how long it will take. transition will bring positive environmental impacts.
