| description |
Mobility is essential for economic
and social development, but the transport sector in most
countries is not sustainable in its existing form. Reducing
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and local pollutants in the
transport sector will create a cleaner, healthier and more
livable future for everyone. Electric mobility (e-mobility)
represents a crucial opportunity to develop a more
sustainable transport system. Electrification of transport
offers significant environmental benefits and at the same
time produces a long-lasting economic impact. E-mobility is
an important way to mitigate air pollution by reducing
carbon intensity of the transport sector as it has better
efficiency than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles
and has zero tailpipe emissions. Through electrification of
transport, the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates
that electric vehicles can reduce GHG emissions by almost
half compared to an equivalent fleet of ICE vehicles under
existing government policies. The note identifies tangible
actions and policies that governments can adopt to
facilitate the adoption of e-mobility in passenger
transport. In doing so, it identifies practical
considerations that governments should keep in mind when
facilitating e-mobility adoption. Passenger transport
includes public, shared, and private transport. This
technical note places a strong emphasis on public and shared
transport as improving it: (i) helps make the transport
system less congested, reducing the need for many separate
trips by private vehicles; (ii) can benefit people across
all income strata; and (iii) can, with higher utilization,
harness the operational cost savings of electrification
faster than relatively low utilization private vehicles. |
