Although it varies according to the type of energy used in production processes, the production of electric vehicle batteries has a high carbon footprint.

However, during use, an electric vehicle is capable of emitting around three times less GHG when compared to a combustion vehicle, making this type of vehicle significantly less impactful from a climate point of view.

The development of the Decarbonization Roadmap for the National Automotive Sector is essentially intended to help reduce the impact of these industries on the environment by reducing their emissions and, at the same time, contribute to greater adaptation and resilience to future climate challenges.
