The announcement will take place at a ceremony at the Guanabara Palace, the Rio state government’s headquarters, and the funds are part of an investment cycle that ends in 2025.

“They will announce the company’s new investment plan and a new vehicle that will be manufactured at the Porto Real plant,” said one of the sources.

The new model is the C3 AirCross, a seven-seat SUV. It is the second announced within the current investment cycle, which should also include one more vehicle. The first was the compact C3, launched in 2021.

A second source said the investment includes the development of a platform at the plant that will enable the manufacture of the three models.
