Case Study: Brazil’s Electrified Transit Hegemony - An Industrial Strategy Perspective on Regional Leadership and Domestic Value Chains

iMB.Solutions was commissioned by a European EV component and engineering leader to navigate the complex, high-barrier market of Brazil, with a specific focus on the SĂŁo Paulo Metropolitan Area.
