Brazil is experiencing significant infrastructure development across multiple sectors. In the machinery market, the demand for ‘Yellow Line’ equipment is projected to reach 35,800 units by 2026, driven by large-scale investments in mining, sanitation, urban mobility, and highway construction. Federal roadway concessions regulated by the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT) involve planned works totaling R$ 306 billion across 18,100 kilometers of highways.

Simultaneously, the country is advancing major railway expansion and revitalization efforts. In the Distrito Federal, a R$ 29.2 billion ten-year plan aims to implement nearly 120 kilometers of new rail lines and 114 stations to accommodate over 500,000 daily passengers. Nationally, the Ministry of Transport has introduced a model to revitalize approximately 10,000 kilometers of idle or deactivated railways through long-term authorization contracts with the private sector.
