Electric Giants is a coalition of civil society organizations dedicated to accelerating the electrification of freight transport in Brazil, promoting a just transition that values workers, communities, and people at the center of this transformation.
We are part of an international initiative committed to advancing a fair and sustainable transition to electric truck fleets, in Brazil and around the world.
We work to drive the electrification of freight transport in Brazil by encouraging commitments and partnerships that strengthen a just, competitive, and inclusive energy transition.
We believe that, with strategic decisions by manufacturers, the country can significantly reduce diesel emissions and impacts, increase its industrial competitiveness, and promote a more balanced and sustainable economy.
