Electric mobility and development

As demand for electric mobility accelerates across major markets such as China, the US and Europe in response to climate and environmental concerns, a new World Bank report launched at COP 24 reveals that developing countries also stand to benefit significantly from the technology. The report, prepared by the World Bank and UITP – the International Association of Public Transport, with support from ESMAP – the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program, lays out basic principles for eMobility programs that respond to the climate, economic, fiscal, technical, institutional, and policy circumstances of different countries.
