Electric Mobility
Electric Mobility
The PDI portfolio includes innovative projects that are part of the Neoenergia Electric Mobility Program, which is committed to encouraging sustainable mobility, in line with the goal of contributing to the decarbonization of the economy. Among the electric mobility actions of the PDI Program, the following projects stand out: Green Corridor, Green Trail, and Electric Truck.
Green Corridor
The Green Corridor PDI project implemented the first electric corridor and the largest rapid charging streetcar in the North-Northeast, about 1,200 km long, providing an extensive electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the region, with 17 charging stations installed, connecting six capitals: Salvador (BA), Aracaju (SE), Maceió (AL), Recife (PE), João Pessoa (PB) and Natal (RN). The Green Corridor infrastructure benefits 70 municipalities, in addition to 37 million people from six of the nine states in the Northeast.
Of the 17 charging stations, six were installed in malls for public use in the cities of Salvador - BA, Recife - PE and Natal - RN, two in each project. The other stations are located along the highways that connect the states of Bahia, Sergipe, Alagoas, Pernambuco, Paraíba, and Rio Grande do Norte.

The Green Corridor was developed by Neoenergia in partnership with SENAI—CIMATEC, GESEL, UFABC and ABB.
As part of this important project, electric vehicle charging was carried out, in a pioneering way in Brazil, which allowed the study of the price elasticity of demand and, consequently, the proposal of a business model for offering highway charging services to the public.

The Green Corridor application and the web platform for managing charging stations were developed.

The Green Corridor application aims to assist users in planning routes and locating charging points. For the management and monitoring of the operations of the charging points, a web system was developed to generate reports with data captured through the application, such as the number of users, the status of the electrical stations, energy consumed, duration of recharges, date of use, time of recharge, end of recharge and value of the service.
Also within the scope of the project, labor training was promoted through electric vehicle maintenance courses and charging stations.

Green Trail
The Green Trail PDI Project aims to include electric mobility in an environmentally sustainable way and associated with the expansion of photovoltaic generation on the island of Fernando de Noronha. The project is being developed in partnership with CPqD - Institute of Science and Technology, IATI - Advanced Institute of Technology and Innovation, and UFPE - Federal University of Pernambuco.
Through this project, in 2022, the Vacaria Solar Power Plant was implemented, with a power of 50kWp, and in September 2023, work began to install the second solar plant, Noronha Laboratory, with a power of 50kWp, totaling 100kWp with a battery storage system. Twelve electric stations were purchased and will be installed at strategic points on the island of Fernando de Noronha, available for all electric cars in the archipelago. In addition, the project initiative includes 13 new electric vehicles, which will be used in tourism activities, public services, and operations of the local government and Neoenergia Pernambuco.
The Green Trail promotes the development of sustainable energy solutions, the supply of quality energy, and the preservation of the local nature of the island of Fernando de Noronha. In addition, the investment in infrastructure for electric vehicles and the implementation of solar power plants, with an energy storage system in one of them, make possible a more sustainable energy matrix for the island. The initiative is in accordance with state law 16.810/2020, which prohibits the entry of combustion vehicles into Noronha starting in August 2023 and, starting in August 2030, the circulation and permanence of vehicles powered by gasoline, diesel and ethanol. In the project, a pedagogical workshop “Descarboniza Noronha” was also developed with high school students from the island, in order to enable a social interaction between the practice and theory of decarbonization in Fernando de Noronha.
The project includes applications based on experimental business models, operated by local entrepreneurs, aimed at promoting electric mobility on the island of Fernando de Noronha. The island's partners were chosen by the project team after previous studies carried out in Noronha. Each of them uses the cars daily in their respective activities for a period. The idea is to diversify the use of cars so that, at the end of the research, the sustainability of business models can be evaluated from environmental, technical and economic aspects in Fernando de Noronha.
In addition, the project has energy resource orchestration software that covers solar power plants and the energy storage system and the charging infrastructure, transmitting data on the generation, charging, and use of electric vehicles, to the electric mobility and energy resources platform.
Based on the Green Trail project, an electric mobility ecosystem was created in Fernando de Noronha, involving partners, companies, and local entities with the potential for reproduction to other places with environmental preservation needs, tourist activities, and isolated systems with similar characteristics.

Electric Truck
In the PDI Electric Truck project, the first electric vehicle for network services was developed with an embedded system that allows charging directly into the electrical network, giving more efficiency and autonomy by not requiring a return to the operating bases for possible recharging. The project was developed in partnership with the Institute of Technology for Development — LACTEC, BYD BRASIL LTDA and GRUPO PLE.
The car was developed based on the T7 truck, from the manufacturer BYD, with emphasis on the opportunity refill system in the distribution network itself. The charger installed in the truck body can be connected to predetermined points on the distribution company's electrical network. In addition, the electric truck has telemetry technology, which allows the monitoring of information about the vehicle's battery.
The electric trucks developed contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to the environment. According to research conducted, CO2 emissions from electric vehicles are 4.6 times lower compared to diesel vehicles. Another highlight was the reduction of sound noise in the environment, due to the use of an electric motor for the truck instead of a diesel engine, providing higher quality to employees and customers.
In the Electric Truck project, a web platform was developed for managing chargers, which presents managers with the status of the chargers, in addition to general information, such as energy consumed, status, recharge time, battery level and recharge date. The developed platform has a methodology for optimizing vehicle routing, which indicates the charging points in the Neoenergia distribution network, according to the schedule of maintenance locations and the battery level of the electric vehicle.
The project contributed to technological progress within industry and research centers, adding value to the chain and encouraging the nationalization of electric mobility technologies for heavy electric vehicles in the country.
