description |
This study analyzes the potential for
electrification of two- and three-wheelers in Sahelian
cities, using Bamako and Ouagadougou as case studies. The
electrification of urban mobility in the Sahel has the
potential to address pressing development issues such as
reducing local air pollution, decarbonizing the transport
sector, reducing vulnerability to petrol imports, and
creating new jobs. The study has a particular focus on the
electrification of two- and three- wheelers due to their
dominant share of total mobility in Sahelian cities. In
Ouagadougou, two-wheelers are used mostly for private
vehicle use. In Bamako, they are used for private travel as
well as commercial passenger travel as mototaxis and freight
transport. Several international experiences show that
switching from internal combustion engines to electric
twoand three-wheelers has a high potential to reduce local
air pollution and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions as well as
noise pollution. The World Bank aims to develop a dialogue
with the governments of the Sahel region regarding the
transition to two- and three-wheelers in cities, and
consequently the reduction of carbon emissions, air
pollution and dependence on fossil fuels. Based on the
analysis of the mobility situation in the cities of
Ouagadougou and Bamako, independent recommendations were
prepared on how to develop a roadmap for transformation to
e-mobility in Sahelian cities. The study focuses on all
types of two- and three-wheeled vehicles, both motorized and
nonmotorized. Thus, in addition to scooters, motorcycles and
tricycles, bicycles are also included in the study.
Similarly, the study considers two- and three-wheeled
vehicles for the transport of people and goods. |
