Alliances such as the one announced with Cabify to boost electromobility in Peru, electrification of its fleet for the next decade and sophisticated technology implementation are not isolated strategies by the manufacturer Kia, but part of a large-scale plan to be one of the leaders in sustainable mobility. As part of its “Plan S” program,…
Mobility as a Service (MaaS) has taken off in Latin America during the COVID-19 pandemic, with people increasingly using digitalization and platforms to get around safely. Instead of having to locate, book, and pay for each mode of transportation separately, MaaS applications are starting to move towards an interconnected approach with leading companies joining efforts…
In 2020, Brazil established the National Electric Mobility Platform (PNME) as a joint effort of important public actors, industry, academia and civil society to identify long-term goals. One of the advances made by the government sector at the beginning of this year was made by the São Paulo State Military Police (PM-SP), which received another…
Electric mobility does not only refer to a vehicle and a charger, but involves a large number of important aspects to make possible the energy transition required by the planet. In Chile, one of the most advanced countries in Latin America on the subject, there are companies such as Copec and its Copec Voltex division,…
Latin American cities are undergoing a transformation of their mobility model, in order to overcome traffic congestion, offer solutions to people and reduce carbon emissions (CO2). According to data from the United Nations (UN), Latin America is the most urbanized region in the world and it is expected that 90% of the regional population will…
Chile has set important goals for the energy transition and electric mobility. One of the plans announced by the government is called “Efficient Transport: Energy on the Move”, which set short-term achievements, such as exceeding 10 times more electric vehicles than 2017 and over 150 public electrolineras. In addition, within the framework of the Energy…
Latin America is significantly transitioning towards electromobility. The main cities of the region have included electric vehicle fleets into the transportation sector, with the aim of reducing carbon emissions. Countries such as Chile, Colombia, Mexico and the Dominican Republic are leading this market, although there are still several goals to achieve. The insufficient charging infrastructure…
Charging infrastructure, considered the Achilles heel for electromobility massification on a global scale, is one of the focuses on which technology companies like Siemens are working, which, in addition to offering innovative electronic devices, have included other areas of their business model, such as vehicle electrification and energy supply centers. According to estimates published by…
A joint effort between Peruvian institutions, including the Ministries of the Environment; Energy and Mines; Transport and Communications; and Production, as well as the Metropolitan Municipality of the capital, Lima, the country has set important goals to reduce pollution in transportation. One of these objectives is a 12.2 million tons of carbon (CO2) reduction by…
The awareness of the effects of climate change is becoming increasingly established across the business world, and Latin America is no exception. The main companies of the region have sustainability strategies and are included in the global indexes on this subject. One such case is headed by the Chilean company Copec, a leader in resources,…
Chile continues on a positive path towards the transition to electric mobility needed by the country and the region. Only in 2021, 556 electric vehicles were marketed, which set a sales record, according to figures from the Transurban Foundation. Since 2016, the country set out a national electromobility policy that seeks to electrify 40% of…
Latin America is one of the most potential regions to boost electric mobility due to its large Lithium reserves, among other important components for manufacturing electrified cars. According to the United Nations (UN), the continent has the capacity to generate 22 times the energy needs of the global economy. Mexico is one of the countries…
