With our portfolio, we will also ensure that requirements are met for lightweight solutions that reduce emissions while remaining as robust as conventional products,” explains Papadimitriou.Ĭontinental is already active in Brazil – for instance, the technology company produces commercial vehicle tires, manual and digital tachographs and tachometer displays for light and heavy commercial vehicles for the South American market. “Local demand goes well beyond comfort and convenience. Whereas metal leaf springs were previously a widespread alternative in the Brazilian market, demand is beginning to shift in the direction of air springs made of rubber and plastic. This trend will have a corresponding spill-over effect on the spare parts business,” says Papadimitriou. “The need for comfort and safety in modern buses, trucks and trailers is increasing noticeably in the Brazilian market – especially in the original equipment business. The aim is to achieve a significant increase in sales in the commercial vehicle sector. Tensions between Pacaraima residents and Venezuelans entering Brazil exploded in August: Frustrated residents set fire to camps created for migrants by the government after an alleged attack on a local shop owner.“Our customers in the region expect high-quality products that are manufactured locally,” says on-site project manager Julio Lopes. They gather on sidewalks and cook what they can find, mostly rice, pasta, and beans. Many run out of money and have their journeys stalled in Pacaraima, which not long ago was a quiet town of 12,375 but now is where hundreds, and likely more, live on the streets, sleeping in tents and parking lots. But no adventure awaits those who make it to Brazil. The border region mainly had been known as a place for adventure travellers in search of Mount Roraima, the 9,219-foot plateau that inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1912 novel The Lost World, which imagines encounters between explorers and dinosaurs. Since 2017 more than 58,000 Venezuelans have settled in Brazil, the largest migratory movement between the two countries in history. It’s the fallout from a breathtaking collapse in Venezuela, which rode an oil boom from 2004 to 2014 to become one of Latin America’s richest nations, then saw its fortunes tumble amid falling oil prices, soaring government deficits, and persistent corruption. They hope to find food, medicine, safety, and jobs in Brazil, basics they no longer can get in their home country because of its free-falling economy, staggering inflation, high rates of violence, and chronic food and medicine shortages. Those seeking a better life in Brazil have sold TVs, cell phones, clothes-everything they own-to pay for the trip. After recent attacks, some Venezuelans have crossed the border back into their home country. The journey has become more harrowing as Brazilians have begun to lash out at the influx of refugees pouring into their country, putting a strain on limited services. Each day hundreds of struggling Venezuelans arrive at the border, carrying stuff on their backs and documents in their hands.
