Os desafios do transporte de combustível no Brasil

Abstract

The road transportation mode in Brazil faces significant challenges due to the poor infrastructure of highways, negatively impacting the country's economy and road safety. This article reviews existing literature on the problems faced by the Brazilian road transportation mode, highlighting the lack of investment in road maintenance and expansion, the lack of road safety, and the resulting economic and social impacts of these issues. Data from the National Confederation of Transport (CNT) are used to contextualize the need for massive investments in road infrastructure. Additionally, the article discusses additional challenges stemming from the lack of integration between different transportation modes, such as increased greenhouse gas emissions and excessive dependence on fossil fuels. The article concludes by emphasizing the need to integrate and diversify various transportation modes in the country and stressing the importance of effective public policies and infrastructure investments to promote sustainable change in the Brazilian road transportation sector.
