The energy transition<\/strong> in Latin America takes center stage as the premier forum for dialogue, collaboration, and deal-making at Latam Mobility Southern Cone 2026<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On August 25<\/strong>, the Intercontinental Hotel<\/strong> in Santiago, Chile<\/strong> will host more than 500 attendees, including government authorities, vehicle manufacturers, fleet operators, charging infrastructure providers, tech startups, and public policy experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Argentina<\/strong> as the guest of honor, this seventh edition\u2014part of the Latam Mobility 2026 Tour<\/strong>\u2014is shaping up to be the can’t-miss gathering<\/strong> for everyone driving electromobility<\/strong> and transport decarbonization<\/strong> across the Southern Cone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may also be interested in<\/strong> | Report: Global EV Charging Station Market to Reach USD 143 Billion by 2035<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The host country arrives with numbers that cement its status as an undisputed leader<\/strong> in Latin American electromobility<\/strong>. In the first five months of 2026, 4,168<\/strong> new 100% electric vehicles were sold in Chile\u2014a cumulative jump of 96.8%<\/strong> compared to the same stretch in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plug-in hybrid sales hit 2,955<\/strong> units, an increase of 327.5%<\/strong>, while extended-range electric vehicles reached 679<\/strong> units. In the zero- and low-emission light and medium vehicle market, Tesla<\/strong> currently leads with a 27.1%<\/strong> share, followed by Volvo<\/strong> (8.4%) and BYD<\/strong> (8.3%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Charging infrastructure<\/strong> is expanding fast: the country now boasts 2,159<\/strong> public charging stations, which works out to a density of 8.04<\/strong> chargers per 100 electrified vehicles\u2014the highest rate in the region<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Public transit, meanwhile, hit a historic milestone with 4,088<\/strong> electric buses now operating in Santiago’s RED Mobility<\/strong> system. That equals 62%<\/strong> of the total fleet, with projections to reach 4,400<\/strong> units by year-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Latam Mobility Southern Cone 2026<\/a><\/strong> will be the stage where the most critical topics defining the future of regional transport come together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout the day, attendees will dive into debates on integrating sustainable mobility as a core pillar of governance and regional coordination, tackling how to harmonize public policies and accelerate the energy transition<\/strong> from a collaborative, cross-border perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Charging infrastructure<\/strong> and its relationship with public transport take center stage, with in-depth looks at the deployment of charging points, interoperability models, and the role of operators as key enablers<\/strong> for mass EV adoption in urban settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alongside leading manufacturers and importers, the event will explore industrial leadership in the region, supply-chain strategies tailored to local markets, and the logistical challenges inherent in this massive shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shared mobility, micromobility, and passenger transport are also major focal points, especially as these alternatives gain serious traction in Latin American cities as a response to congestion and the growing demand for cleaner options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The agenda also puts a spotlight on the value chain and decarbonization<\/strong>, analyzing how sectors like logistics, retail, and distribution are weaving sustainability criteria into their daily operations and supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Latam Mobility Southern Cone 2026<\/a><\/strong> isn’t just a summit\u2014it’s the most important international collaboration ecosystem<\/strong> of the year for sustainable mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With an exhibition and experience zone, dedicated matchmaking spaces for fleets and charging, and the presence of the sector’s most influential players, the event offers a unique opportunity<\/strong> to forge strategic alliances, discover the latest tech innovations, and help shape the policies that will set the course for electromobility<\/strong> in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a special highlight, a featured conversation about the opportunities for mass EV adoption<\/strong> in Argentina<\/strong>\u2014this year’s guest country\u2014will open a bridge for cross-border cooperation in sustainable mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information on how to participate in Latam Mobility Southern Cone 2026<\/strong> and available positioning options, please write to info@investinlatam.org<\/strong><\/a>.
