A specially designed, 540-ton transformer, produced in Guarulhos, Brazil, is en route to assist in the construction of 'The Line', a groundbreaking urban development project in Saudi Arabia that stretches 170 kilometers and promotes renewable energy solutions. This transportation operation involves complex logistics, with meticulous planning over the past year to ensure the successful delivery of the transformer as part of a total of 14 units needed for the project.

The logistics of the operation included navigating Brazilian roadways, particularly the busy Rodovia Dutra, where restrictions were implemented to minimize disruption to the daily traffic of 350,000 vehicles. The transport was scheduled to occur at night; however, it faced unexpected mechanical and bureaucratic challenges that set back the planned timeline. The use of a specialized super heavy-duty truck with over 50 axles was crucial for safely moving the massive load.

This initiative not only highlights the capabilities of Brazilian engineering but also showcases the international collaboration involved in Saudi Arabia's ambitious green city initiative. By utilizing locally produced technology, the project aims to contribute significantly to sustainable development in the region and signifies Brazil's role in global infrastructure projects.
