Port of Sines reinforces operational capacity and sustainability with three new 4×4 electric vehicles

Jornal Económico5 September 2026 at 08:04

The Administration of the Ports of Sines and Algarve (APS) announced the integration of three new pick-up vehicles, 100% electric and with all-wheel drive (4×4), in its operational fleet at the Port of Sines. This acquisition represents another step in the port authority's energy transition strategy.

The new units will be used for critical emergency missions, monitoring, inspection and prevention in the areas of security and environment. The four-wheel drive and electric motorization provide teams with greater mobility, intervention and readiness capabilities in the field.

The acquisition is part of the global decarbonization plan of the Port of Sines and the environmental commitments undertaken by APS. In addition to eliminating direct CO2 emissions, the replacement with electric vehicles will allow for the optimization of operation and maintenance costs, promoting more sustainable and efficient management of resources.

With this investment, APS reaffirms its trajectory towards sustainability and innovation, aligning the activity of the Port of Sines with the national and European carbon neutrality targets for port infrastructure.

New Tires on Front or Back? Many Drivers Choose the Wrong Axle and This Is the Safest Option

When only two tires need to be replaced, many drivers place them on the front axle, but specialists and manufacturers such as Michelin and Euromaster recommend that new tires be on the rear axle. The main reason is related to vehicle stability: having greater traction at the back helps keep the car stable, especially on wet roads, where worn rear tires can cause oversteering. This recommendation applies even to front-wheel drive cars. In Portugal, the minimum tread depth is 1.6 mm, but specialists advise not to wait for the legal limit to replace tires. The ideal remains to change all four at the same time, but when that is not necessary, the safety rule is simple: tires with greater tread depth should always be at the back.

Explainer: The Volkswagen Crisis

Volkswagen is facing a severe crisis that has led to the presentation of a comprehensive restructuring plan, which includes cutting 100,000 jobs and reducing the car range by 50% by 2035. The German manufacturer intends to adapt to the transformations in the automotive sector and the decline in sales, especially in the European market. In Portugal, the Autoeuropa factory in Palmela will not be affected by these cuts, having been excluded from the restructuring plan.
