Diagnóstico do complexo industrial ferroviário: formulação intrasetorial veículo ferroviário

Abstract

The document presents a historical and structural analysis of the Brazilian railway industrial complex, showing how its trajectory has been marked by discontinuous investment, the absence of long-term policies, and increasing productive idleness, despite the central role of railways in territorial integration, logistical cost reduction, and energy efficiency. It outlines the productive chain — from the steel base to onboard systems — identifies its main segments, suppliers, and consumers, and demonstrates that the planned revitalization of the sector, aligned with the demands of freight transport and urban mobility, is a strategic condition for enhancing national competitiveness, strengthening domestic technological capabilities, and supporting a more balanced pattern of economic development.
