The month of July registered the sale of 279,578 units of vehicles, covering passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks, and buses, making it the best month of the year. According to Fenabrave, this number represents a significant increase of 14.9% compared to July 2025. Observing the first seven months of 2026, 1,699,637 units were sold, which constitutes a growth of 17.9% compared to the same period last year.
July had 23 business days, surpassing the 21 business days of June and the 23 business days of July 2025.
Arcélio Santos Júnior, president of the entity that brings together various brand associations, attributes the positive market performance to the good functioning of credit for financing and, notably, to the Sustainable Car program. This specific segment showed an increase of 29.4% compared to the period before its implementation in July of last year.
Additionally, the Move Brasil — Taxi and Apps program reached 21,000 interested parties. Santos Júnior expressed optimism about the growth potential of this niche after the creation of the Investment Guarantee Fund (FGI). He mentioned that the approval of self-employed professionals' registrations is subject to common characteristics of governmental programs during election years.
However, Fenabrave warns that these same elections could result in some market slowdown during the second half of the year. Due to the expansion of credit supply in the first six months, there may have been an anticipation movement in purchases, leading Fenabrave to maintain the 2026 closing projection slightly below the Anfavea estimate.
Projections from the consultancy Bright corroborate the end of this cycle of anticipatory purchases. The consultancy recorded that, specifically in the previous month, Chinese brands combined represented 23% of the total sales volume. Among the top ten rankings, besides BYD in fourth place, GWM ranks ninth.
Regarding large pickup trucks, they maintain their space in the market, limited by cost, attracting consumers with higher purchasing power who seek to project an image. Ram removed components from the 1500 Bighorn version without significantly compromising its status. Items excluded from this version include sunroof, leather seat upholstery, external chrome (limited to 20-inch wheels and running boards), and continuous centralization on the road in the Adas system.
Electric controls remain for pedal and steering wheel adjustments (with heating function), electromechanical parking brake, driver's seat (with ten positions and heating), and rear window. The 12-inch multimedia system offers wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as six USB ports (four Type C, faster, and two Type A) and built-in Wi-Fi for eight devices. The vehicle has an inductive phone charger and a sound system composed of nine speakers, a subwoofer, and 506 W. The rear floor is flat.
The three-liter, gasoline, turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine generates 426 hp and 64.8 kgf·m, offering acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds, in addition to having a low level of noise, vibration, and roughness. The standard eight-speed torqueFlite 8 automatic planetary transmission (ZF 8HP License) is of good quality. There are four available traction modes: 4x2 and three 4x4 options (Auto, High, and Low). The driver can also select five additional profiles: Towing, Sport, Off-road, Slippery Road, and Automatic. A notable differential is the active radiator grille, particularly useful on highways to optimize energy efficiency.
The rear suspension with coil springs contributes to better driving comfort. However, the total capacity (including load and five occupants) is only 570 kg, despite having a large 1,523-liter bed, more than three times larger than that of a common mid-size SUV. The towing capacity, less valued in Brazil compared to the United States, is 4,490 kg. The announced price is R$ 449,990.
If your internet connection is slow in parts of the house or fails at crucial moments, the problem might be with the router and not the service provider. Three good alternatives for Mesh Wi-Fi routers available on sale on Amazon have been selected to eliminate dead zones and ensure a stable network throughout all rooms.
The Twibi Force AX model represents Intelbras' contribution to the Wi-Fi 6 (AX) standard. It offers greater speed, lower latency, and superior performance in locations where many devices are connected simultaneously. Thanks to Mesh technology, access points communicate intelligently, expanding the signal throughout the house without connection interruptions. This option is recommended for those looking for a modern, domestically manufactured network.
Another highlighted option is the TP-Link Deco M4 kit, designed to facilitate coverage of larger spaces with a constant signal. This system supports the 5 GHz frequency and Gigabit ports, combining stability and speed in a simple Mesh configuration that can be set up via an application. It is considered ideal for both apartments and medium-sized houses that require a network without blind spots.
The Deco E3 emerges as an accessible entry point into the Mesh universe, maintaining the quality associated with the TP-Link brand. This set, consisting of two AC1200 standard access points, adequately covers medium-sized residences, preventing the annoying freezes that occur when moving away from the main router. Installation is uncomplicated, able to be done in just a few minutes using the Deco app.
It is important to note that sales on Amazon are dynamic, and stock in promotions can run out quickly. If any of these routers has caught your interest, it is recommended to purchase the product immediately before the price increases or the item becomes unavailable. A good Wi-Fi infrastructure positively impacts daily life, whether for remote work, video conferencing, or watching series without interruptions.
Nvidia is planning to allocate up to US$ 3 billion to Lancium, an energy infrastructure developer linked to the Stargate data center campus located in Texas.
This news was revealed by The Information last Friday (07), based on sources with knowledge of the matter. Initially, the agreement foresees an investment of US$ 2 billion, which would guarantee Nvidia approximately a 20% stake in Lancium, a company supported by the Blackstone fund.
There is a possibility of an additional investment of US$ 1 billion, provided certain objectives are met, including connecting the developments to the electrical grid. The operation values Lancium and the set of land and energy connections under its control at an estimated corporate value of about US$ 10 billion.
The financial resources will also be used to strengthen the company's expansion while it evaluates a possible Initial Public Offering (IPO) scheduled for 2027. Lancium manages the Lancium Clean Campus, an area of approximately 1,000 acres located in Abilene, Texas, and this complex is the first operational site related to the Stargate initiative, a project focused on building data centers.
The business structure defines an initial capital injection of US$ 2 billion, enough to secure nearly one-fifth of the company for Nvidia. The chance of increasing the investment by another US$ 1 billion depends on meeting specific goals, such as obtaining connections to the electrical grid.
This potential disbursement occurs at a time when Lancium seeks to expand its activities. As reported by The Information, the company is also analyzing the feasibility of conducting an initial public offering of shares in 2027. Lancium has the backing of Blackstone, which is among the company's investors.
With this new agreement, the estimated enterprise value for Lancium, considering its real estate assets and energy connections, reaches approximately US$ 10 billion. The operation is connected to the advancement of Stargate, a venture composed of SoftBank, OpenAI, and Oracle to develop data center facilities. This project was presented in January by U.S. President Donald Trump, who mentioned that the participants intended to allocate up to US$ 500 billion in infrastructure necessary for artificial intelligence.
Neither Nvidia nor Lancium issued immediate responses to requests for comment made by Reuters regarding this transaction.
