EWL Engenharia is a company that has as one of main pillars, the innovation. As a consequence, one of the areas of activity is the research of new technologies, products and methodologies, through the application of scientific knowledge and technological tools, widely used in Automotive Development.
Research in progress
A research that is under development is related to the Automotive Armoring, in the elaboration of projects of ballistic protection using scientific knowledge and Engineering tools, in the search of robustness and quality for the final product.
Unfortunately, violence in Brazil is at high levels, especially in capitals and large centers (1). There are many reasons for this, including drug trafficking and consumption, impunity, disorderly demographic growth, educational deficit and more (2), which are discussed and debated in various forums and congresses, articles and monographs. The map of violence shows that 206,005 homicides occurred in Brazil in the period from 2008 to 2011, similar to the total number of direct deaths in the 62 armed conflicts around the world in that time of 208,349 (3).
In relation to traffic violence, an example is the increase in the number of stolen car. In 2011 there were 230 per 100 thousand inhabitants, and in 2014, it increased to 280 per 100 thousand inhabitants (4).
As a result, among other factors, the demand for armored vehicles has increased significantly in the last 10 years.
Social Responsibility is one of the main values of the company, and in this case, the research in the area of Automotive Armoring has the objective of contributing to the improvement of the safety of people, facilitating their access more and more to an armored vehicle.
