IDB and the State of Mexico Lead Strategies for Electrification

The State of Mexico maintains key public policies to promote a shift towards sustainable mobility and zero emissions.

A few days ago, a working group called “Strategy for Electrification” and the creation of a “Charging Infrastructure Plan for Electric Vehicles” was held, organized by the Secretariat of Mobility (Semov) in collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

During the presentation, Daniel Sibaja González, Secretary of State Mobility, emphasized that collaboration with international organizations is crucial to face the challenges and evaluate the institutional implications related to the transition to electric mobility.

In statements reviewed by the local media “Contra Réplica”, he pointed out that the purpose is to facilitate a transition towards sustainable mobility with electric vehicles and to establish an adequate charging infrastructure in the entity.

Sibaja emphasized the importance of electromobility for the State of Mexico, noting that “it is here to stay”, and that its impact will extend beyond the automotive sector, positively affecting various sectors of the economy.

He assured that it is vital “not only to consider the trucks or the electric service, but a whole institutional legal gear” necessary for an effective transition.

The secretary also highlighted the need for collaboration with key leaders such as Mexico’s President Elect, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo; Mexico City’s next Chief of Government, Clara Brugada; and Alejandro Encinas, CDMX’s next Secretary of Planning and Land Management. “We are here because it is fundamental to work together”, he said.

Along the same lines, Amado Crotte, IDB Transport Specialist in Mexico, joined Sibaja in stressing the importance of coordination between local, state and federal authorities.

“Cooperation between all levels of government is essential to develop a comprehensive mobility policy,” Crotte said.
