What changes on the VCI from September 15th?

Público14 September 2026 at 20:09

The Via de Cintura Interna (Inner Beltway) will impose significant restrictions on the circulation of heavy goods vehicles starting September 15th. This Tuesday marks the beginning of the new rules that directly affect the transport and logistics sector in the region.

The restrictions specifically apply to heavy goods vehicles, which will see their ability to travel on this route limited. This measure likely aims to reduce congestion and environmental impacts in the urban area.

The main parties affected by these changes are road freight transport companies and professionals who depend on this route daily for their logistics operations. Drivers of these vehicles should plan alternative routes starting from the date the new restrictions take effect.

Why this matters

Readers who drive heavy vehicles or work in the logistics sector face new rules that change their usual routes. Freight transport companies need to plan alternative routes, which may impact delivery times and operational costs. This measure follows a trend of restricting heavy traffic in urban areas to reduce congestion and pollution.

In testing phase, BRT and VLT begin accepting cards in Rio de Janeiro; credit has a fee

The Gentileza Terminal, in the Central Region of Rio de Janeiro, began testing the payment of BRT and VLT fares with credit and debit cards directly at the turnstiles. The City Hall regulated the measure this Monday, defining rules for the future expansion of the service. On debit, the passenger pays the normal fare value; on credit, there is an additional charge of up to 30 cents per trip to cover operational costs. CBN reached out to the City Hall to clarify whether this charge conflicts with a 2022 municipal law that determines that the fare value with card must correspond to the current price.

Wall Street closes in negative territory after calls to halt AI development

The US stock market ended in negative territory on Monday, pressured by calls from artificial intelligence industry leaders for a slowdown in technology development. The S&P 500 fell 0.48%, the Dow Jones retreated 0.29% and the Nasdaq dropped 0.56%. Chip companies were particularly affected, with Nvidia losing 3.39% and Intel falling 5.61%. A letter from Anthropic's CEO, backed by OpenAI and Elon Musk's xAI, argued for the need to halt the most advanced AI systems to avoid catastrophic harm, while Donald Trump rejected any curb, describing it as a "sick conspiracy".

The yield on US ten-year debt surpassed the 5% threshold for the first time since 2007, amid rising oil prices fueling inflation concerns.

"There are farmers who are taking their tractors to Spain to fill up with regular diesel. We cannot live in a country like this"

Portuguese farmers are crossing the border with tractors to buy regular diesel in Spain, because agricultural diesel in Portugal is more expensive than regular diesel in the neighboring country. Pedro Frazão, a farmer heard by CNN Portugal, criticizes the situation, stating that "we cannot live in a country like this" and defends that the State should be on people's side.
