On the road towards the decarbonization of mobility in public, private and freight transportation, the support of the financial sector is essential to leverage the multiple projects that must be carried out in the transition process in Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this reason, Latam Mobility<\/strong>, the largest community linked to sustainable mobility in Latin America, organized the “Latam Mobility: Mexico 2022<\/strong>” panel entitled “The Role of the Financial Sector Supporting the Transition to Sustainable Mobility<\/strong>“, which brought together a group of representatives of financial companies to learn about the current situation, perspectives and progress of the sector in relation to the decarbonization of transportation in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The panel was attended by Alejandro De La Vega<\/strong>, Partner Infrastructure Investment Banking at Deloitte Financial Advisory Latin America<\/strong>; Francisco Cabeza<\/strong>, EV Lead at Element Fleet Management<\/strong>; Luis Mej\u00eda Avil\u00e9s<\/strong>, BlackRock <\/strong>Infrastructure Director, and Karen D\u00edaz<\/strong>, Proeza Ventures<\/strong> Senior Analyst, under the moderation of Jessica Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez<\/strong>, Sustainability Director at Invest in Latam<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Incentivizing Sustainable Mobility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Alejandro De La Vega<\/strong>, representative of Deloitte Latin America<\/strong>, the number one global financial firm providing audit, consulting, tax and advisory services, pointed out the importance of regulation when structuring projects. “Cities have different needs, and they must be planned and structured, and not the other way around, especially in the renewable issue where there are built projects that cannot be interconnected.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, he indicated the need for incentives for the mobility sector. “We are a country that is among the largest exporters and manufacturers of parts, so it is incredible that there is no incentive for electric vehicles as we see in the United States. A clear incentive would give a huge boost to the automotive industry. Banking in general has to redirect all its efforts for the purposes and mandates, be it export, works and infrastructure.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Cities will continue to grow; the rural population is migrating to the cities and that is a huge challenge globally, and particularly in Latin America. Transportation is a key issue to make these big cities better places, and it is a challenge we all face,” emphasized the Deloitte <\/strong>representative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
