Beyond policies and incentives for large companies to invest and easily import vehicles and auto parts for electric vehicles, the Colombian government seeks to promote the local production of these new technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After meeting a few days ago with senior executives of General Motors<\/strong>, who explored the possibility of installing its first assembly plant in Latin America, the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro<\/strong> announced that the objective of his administration is that the manufacture of electric vehicles may have domestic parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He pointed out that the policy being designed by the executive is that the brands that are in Colombia at the time of importing electric vehicles use local parts to boost the domestic industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We want brands that want to import electric vehicles to Colombia to use national parts and boost electric vehicle production in Colombia. The Government will help change the cab fleet in the country for electric cabs,” the President wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
