In order to enforce the Paris Agreement, which limits the increase in global warming to 2°C by 2100, we all have to take action.
As a way of contributing to a better world, Jacinto is committed to being energy self-sustainable by 2025 by tripling the current area of solar panels used.
Jacinto also expects that, by the same year, we will be able to use underground rainwater tanks to test our vehicles. In 2019, Jacinto presented the vehicle with which it will enter the world of electric mobility: the Eco Camões, a 100% electric, remote-controlled vehicle.
This is yet another action that confirms our concern with the sustainability goals to be achieved, along with innovation. Jacinto will thus be responding to 4 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations General Assembly.
