en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Brazilian Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services (MDIC) has released a list of security equipment eligible for financing under the Move Brasil plan, covering 30 items including trackers, dashcams, and taxi partitions, which can account for up to 10% of the total financing amount. While most discussions around Brazil's Move Brasil plan focus on eligible vehicles, a neglected detail in the official list is that, beyond cars, the plan also involves a series of security items related to the professional activities of taxi and ride-hailing drivers.
The equipment on the list ranges from trackers and dashcams already available on the market to specific passenger transport solutions. One such item is the "taxi partition," a barrier installed between the front and rear seats to separate the driver from passengers. This device is common in cities like New York and London but has disappeared from Brazilian taxis for decades, experiencing a brief revival during the pandemic when drivers used various methods to isolate within the vehicle.
The list mixes simple devices such as steering wheel locks and anti-theft wheel nuts with solutions typically associated with complex fleet operations and cargo transport, such as onboard telematics, geofencing systems, and partial electronic control unit armor. For those planning to purchase the cheapest vehicles under the plan, some equipment may be difficult to opt for. On models like the Fiat Mobi and Renault Kwid, many drivers usually limit additional investments to protective films, trackers, and at most a multimedia system.
The rules announced by the government include: being registered on an app platform for at least 12 months and completing at least 100 trips within the same company. For taxi and cooperative drivers, basic requirements include holding a valid license, registration information, and tax compliance with local traffic authorities. The credit application process has been centralized in the federal government's digital environment, allowing preliminary analysis to be conducted without cumbersome procedures or prior submission of paper documents.
