Electric vehicles in |Brazil as an alternative to the reduction of air pollution caused by fossil fuels Nilcéia Cristina dos Santos, Reinaldo Gomes da Silva, Alberto Martins Junior 2018/04/20

Abstract

The pollution has increased of significant form since 1° Industrial Revolution. The atmospheric pollution is most significant for provoking illnesses and deaths in the whole world and the main cause is the derivative of the fosseis fuel burning. In Brazil the happened pollution of the transport represents the main generating source of pollution. Although 88% of the fleet of cars produced in Brazil have engines flex that they emit little pollutant gases, exists 36% of the composed national fleet for models with superior age of 20 years, that use gasoline and diesel and are responsible for emitting about 150 times more pollutant than the new models. In 2016, had died in the world about 6,5 million people due the pollution of air and in Brazil, had been approximately 22 a thousand people and the perspective is that 36 thousand deaths occur up to 2040. Brazil has assigned international agrements to reduce the emission of CO2 and, internaly, creat the Program of Control of Air Pollution by automotive vehicles. Although these initiatives, little is had advanced in the reduction accomplishes of the emission. It is necessary to rethink the question of the use of the electric vehicles as alternative to assist in the reduction of the emissions of pollutant gases.
