Brazilian highway infrastructure and driver support

Overview

Developments in Brazil have focused on supporting the logistics sector through infrastructure improvements and safety initiatives.

New facilities have been established to assist long-haul professionals, such as the Motiva Pantanal Stop and Rest Point on the BR-163 highway in Mato Grosso do Sul. This R$ 18.9 million site offers amenities including a cafeteria, laundry, and parking for 62 trucks. Similarly, the Pelanda Alpino 2 service station on the BR-116 serves as a support hub for drivers traveling between São Paulo and southern Brazil.

In conjunction with Truck Driver Day on September 16, efforts have also targeted driver education and social welfare. Programs like ‘Juntos pela Vida’ have provided road safety and vehicle maintenance guidance to drivers on the BR-153/SP highway. Additionally, initiatives such as ‘Na Mão Certa’ have worked to educate drivers on identifying and reporting the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents along Brazilian highways.
