Pois é .... Mas a nomenclatura é temporária e foi dada pelo pessoal da Air Lease Corp. Pela foto divulgada pela Embraer parece que será E-Jets EV ( Echanced Version ) ...

Many years ago when still at the helm of Embraer, Mauricio Botelho was asked about his appetite to go head to head with the industry's "big two" in the mainline jet sector. "Occasionally I come up against Airbus and Boeing today in campaigns with the E-Jet," he said. "And when I do, I start to miss my old foe Bombardier."
Botelho's point was simple: when "playing with the big boys", the ferocity of competition goes up by an order of magnitude to a point where the pressure can lead to burst blood vessels. And the events of the past 12 months have clearly illustrated that when Airbus and Boeing enter the fray, prisoners aren't taken alive. "
" Ironically, it is Bombardier's old Brazilian foe that could offer the biggest threat to the CSeries, following its decision not to go head to head with Airbus and Boeing.
After a lengthy evaluation about launching an all-new five-abreast airliner to compete directly with the CSeries and the smaller Airbus/Boeing narrowbodies, Embraer decided late last year to focus instead on a re-engined E-Jet solution. It should confirm that move late in 2012 with a formal launch, targeting a 2016-2018 service entry depending on the engine selected.
"Embraer, like Bombardier, walked up to the big jet cliff," says Aboulafia. "Unlike Bombardier, they walked away."
TeamSAI's Hygate adds: "Embraer is probably in a relatively strong position given that it has kept its powder dry and is now able to rejuvenate its product line with new engines and systems.
"The Brazilians should be congratulated for their ability to rapidly assimilate technology and ideas from within and from around the world and then transform all this learning into a successful commercial industry. I would see them as role model for any country wanting to build an aerospace industry."
More than a decade ago, Embraer responded to the threat of the all-new Fairchild 728Jet in the large regional jet segment by launching its cleansheet 70 to 120-seat E-Jet family. Although this was a slow starter, it now has approaching 1,100 orders and is the market leader in its category.
The manufacturer's commercial aviation president, Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva, says a similar all-new response was first explored to respond to the CSeries and the updated Airbus and Boeing developments. "We were looking to develop a larger jet and believe we could have designed a jet even more efficient than tomorrow's re-engined narrowbodies because it would have been a cleansheet design.
"But then Neo and Max quickly sold 2,500 units and we realised the two big guys were very aggressively defending their market segment and not letting Bombardier sell almost at all.
"To jump into that space, given the magnitude of investment needed to develop a larger jet, we were not seeing a good business case in terms of capture of the market and adequate return on investment. So we decided to reinforce our position in the segment where we we're already market leaders - the 60 to 120-seat category."
Embraer is talking to all three main engine manufacturers about suitable advanced powerplants as it scopes the re-engined E-Jet with the aim of launching the programme this year.
"The entry into service depends on the engine manufacturer," says Silva. "It will be some time between 2016 and 2018. Our target is at least 15% [lower fuel burn]. Our minimum should be the best number of the other guys."
But Silva does not rule out a new mainline move in the longer term. "We are not seeing a business case now, but maybe in the future, say in 2025, when the big guys move up to larger narrowbodies, to 220-230 seats, then we could upgauge our product lines in the smaller [mainline] segment where they are not so focused."
