As recession gripped the globe in 2009, Brazil’s automotive market remained one of the most resilient. According to ANFAVEA, the Brazilian Association of Automotive Vehicle Manufacturers, 3.1 million vehicles were sold domestically in 2009, equaling an all-time record for Brazil and making it the 5th largest automotive market in the world.

With a vast landscape and solid truck infrastructure, Brazil relies on heavy duty vehicles as the main transportation method for both goods and passengers, making it the perfect market for any on-road vehicle/engine manufacturer.

Non-road markets are set to benefit from huge investment in infrastructure leading up to the 2014 world cup and 2016 Olympics, while new government initiatives drive the biofuels market towards the implementation of B10 fuels.

The Diesel Emissions Conference Brazil 2011 is Brazil’s information and networking hub for the global diesel emissions supply chain. Over 3 comprehensive days, participants will discover the latest diesel emissions legislation and technology developments in Brazil, and be part of profitable discussion on the Brazilian on- and non-road diesel emissions markets.
