Government measures represent the starting point for large manufacturers and private companies to make investments to promote electric mobility, with significant incentives.
Aware of this, Paraguayan authorities are undertaking a plan to massify new technologies that develop the use of low and zero emission vehicles.
In this sense, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MIC) officially installed the Strategic Council of Electric Mobility, created by Decree 8840/2023, of the Executive Power.
Minister Luis Alberto Castiglioni heads the Council, and the Executive Secretariat is in charge of the Vice Minister of Industry, Francisco Ruiz Díaz.

Key Step for the Future
Minister Castiglioni highlighted that the document “National Electric Mobility Strategy” has been institutionally empowered through a decree of the Executive Power, considering that it is a fundamental step for the institutional strength that will mark the future.
“It is an extremely rich document and gives us the great references for us to start working efficiently, with concrete and clear objectives, effectively to achieve what we propose,” he explained.
He pointed out that the definitions given through the almost 60 guidelines, within the national strategy, develops the entire future plan. “Our entire transportation system, our entire logistics system linked to transportation of all modalities is dependent on the petroleum derivative,” Minister Castiglioni maintained.
“Here we find the first great element that will make us work together: to initiate the process of substituting oil derivatives, as a fundamental input to mobilize our productive force, for a raw material that we have in abundance, with Paraguayan resources, renewable natural resources and which qualify us as practically the only country, or one of the few countries in the world, whose matrix is one hundred percent clean and renewable”, he underlined.
Paraguayan authorities consider this document to be a great opportunity for Paraguayan automotive industrial development, with emphasis on electric mobility.
