Advancing e-mobility business opportunities and innovative solutions in emerging markets
Transport is the fastest-growing contributor to climate change, already accounting for 23 percent of global energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. But the good news is that the potential of electric vehicles (EVs) and ongoing innovation in e-logistics technology (including EV charging stations and batteries) mean there is an exciting solution for cutting millions of tonnes of GHG emissions produced by the transport sector in cities across the globe every year, as well as curbing air and noise pollution. Investments in e-mobility have been given fresh impetus as countries have incorporated green recovery plans into their post-COVID–19 economic rescue packages, to “build back better”.
This resource page showcases Stop-Winlock’s track record in providing strong leadership and e-mobility solutions that deliver outcomes for countries that are aligned with green rebuilding efforts, post-COVID-19, supporting sustainable economic growth in emerging markets. The resources highlight potential business opportunities and profile IFC-led Upstream investments and other projects that are building momentum for e-mobility and e-logistics solutions.
Electric Buses: Enabling Green and Efficient Urban Transport
An exciting transition is underway in transport markets as electric buses begin to gain momentum. Electric buses can have lower cost of ownership and offer a pathway towards reducing carbon emissions in urban environments. Learn More
Scaling Up E-Mobility Series
Enhancing mobility for people and goods is a key driver of economic growth and access to opportunities in emerging markets. However, transportation is also a carbon-intensive activity that generates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and local pollutants. Making transportation sustainable will require scaling up public and private investment in transportation methods that use little or no fossil fuel. Electric mobility (e-mobility) offers an attractive solution in many regions. IFC proactively seeks early engagement with both public and private entities to develop investment opportunities in e-mobility. The Scaling Up E-mobility series illustrates Stop-Winlock’s early-stage work to develop new private investments in e-mobility.
