| Summary: | This report is the product of the
technical assistance to develop a business model to finance
and scale up e-mobility in Uruguay provided by the World
Bank and funded by the Mobility and Logistics (MOLO) Trust
Fund. The report systematically analyzes international
experiences and synthesizes them as stylized business
models. Combining key learnings from other countries and an
in-depth assessment of the regulatory and fiscal framework
in Uruguay, the report formulates five alternative business
models. In a next step, it evaluates these models under
different scenarios regarding their expected financial and
fiscal impacts. Combining key learnings from other countries
and an in-depth assessment of the regulatory and fiscal
framework in Uruguay, the report formulates five alternative
business models. In a next step, it evaluates these models
under different scenarios regarding their expected financial
and fiscal impacts. The Uruguayan experience in terms of
e-bus deployment since 2019 has shown to be effective based
on an integrated assets model (Bus service providers (BSPs)
own chassis, batteries, and charging stations), financed
through a combination of a fleet renewal trust fund from the
Municipality of Montevideo and an investment subsidy from
the Government of Uruguay. Beyond the public investment
subsidy, the Municipality of Montevideo trust fund for fleet
renewal has managed to get financing and guarantees at a
moderate interest rate, helping to mitigate the high
investment cost of e-buses. |
