A Rich History
The Jeep's history in Brazil dates back to the early 1940s when the country was in the midst of World War II. In need of a reliable and versatile vehicle for military use, the Brazilian government turned to Willys-Overland, the American company that had developed the original Jeep. The first Jeeps arrived in Brazil in 1942 and quickly proved their worth in the harsh conditions of the Brazilian countryside.
After the war, the Jeep became increasingly popular for civilian use. Brazilian farmers, ranchers, and adventurers quickly recognized the Jeep's potential and began using it for a variety of purposes, from transporting goods to exploring the vast wilderness of the country.
