Lula Convenes Ministers to Tackle Move Brasil Rollout Problems

He ordered coordinated action with public banks to speed credit approvals, fix system integration and resolve supply bottlenecks limiting access to subsidized two‑wheeler loans.

Overview

  • The two‑wheeler phase of Move Brasil, which opened on Monday, July 27, is accepting registrations on gov.br and participating banks such as Caixa have started offering subsidized loans to delivery workers, app motorcyclists and mototaxis.
  • The program finances 100% of new, Brazil‑linked two‑wheel vehicles with lower rates of about 12.5% a year for men and 11.5% a year for women, repayment up to 48 months and a two‑month grace period.
  • Eligible vehicles must be new and produced in Brazil or tied to national production projects, and technical limits restrict coverage to flex motorcycles up to 160cc and electric two‑wheelers within wattage caps.
  • Early rollout problems reported by dealers and applicants include failures in system integration between banks and dealerships, limited stock and long delivery times, and repeated rejections or slow credit approvals by banks.
  • The government has convened ministers and public‑bank presidents to address those operational issues, and the program also includes a separate credit line to finance charging and battery‑swap infrastructure to support electric adoption.
