We need a new plan that combines security and efficiency for a future in which development goes hand in hand with preservation and inclusion
On April 18, the Poder360 portal published an article by the founder and chairman of the board of Cedro Participações, Lucas Kallas, on the importance of Brazil investing more in railroads in order to gain competitiveness, reduce accidents on the roads and reduce the environmental impact in the logistics sector. Today, more than 60% of the country's cargo is still transported by road, in many cases over long distances.
As an emblematic example of the problem, Kallas cites the BR-381 highway at Serra Azul, in Minas Gerais. In the last three years, more than 7,000 accidents have been recorded on the stretch, 440 of them with fatalities. This is a saturated infrastructure, which has harmful consequences for society and the environment.
The businessman advocates alternative projects such as the Serra Azul railway branch, which is expected to remove around 5,000 trucks a day from the highway, generating gains in safety for the population, competitiveness for companies and sustainability for the environment and society as a whole.
