Rapid Electrification in Emerging Markets Highlights Week 45
In the ongoing pursuit of a greener future, various research organisations have been working tirelessly to understand the state and potential of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) across different sectors. Here's a roundup of some key reports that shed light on the progress, challenges, and opportunities in the ZEV landscape.
- Transport & Environment's Study on Vehicle Taxation Policies
The research by Transport & Environment compares seven tax kinds, 31 nations, and two methods of registration (private and corporate) in the context of vehicle taxation policies across European nations. This study is the first to make such comparisons directly across European nations and aims to present the current knowledge about the industry's emission effects for shared micromobility.
- Calstart's Analysis of Zero-Emission Off-Road Machinery
Calstart offers a thorough analysis of the technology state and commercial viability of zero-emission off-road machinery. The report evaluates major policy levers for heavy-duty vehicle electrification and identifies policy barriers and recommendations. It also highlights that the electrification of off-road equipment is rapidly progressing, with 217 models available across eight different off-road categories.
- Fraunhofer Institute's Report on Shared Micro-Mobility
The Fraunhofer Institute published a report on the net sustainability impact of shared micro-mobility in six global cities. The conversation regarding the effects of consumption, such as the impact on emissions in the transportation sector, has only begun for shared micromobility. The report presents a snapshot of case studies on the emission effects of shared e-bikes and e-scooters.
- Energy for Growth Hub's Report on Electric Vehicle Adoption in Africa
The report aims to assess the status of ZEV deployment and policies in emerging markets, with a focus on Africa. It suggests that the drivers and challenges of electric vehicle adoption in Africa will vary from country to country. South Africa, Kenya, and Morocco have shown significant growth in electric vehicle adoption, with South Africa offering incentives and leading the market, while Kenya promotes EVs to reduce urban pollution and fossil fuel dependency.
- ICCT's Report on the Electrification of Heavy-Duty Vehicles in Emerging Markets
The ICCT released a report on the electrification of heavy-duty vehicles in emerging markets, discussing the potential of ZEV technologies for heavy-duty vehicles to mitigate climate change and air pollution.
- Transport & Environment's Guide on Good Taxation for the Transportation Sector
Transport & Environment also published a guide on good taxation for the transportation sector, providing recommendations on tailoring policies, timing, and approach to electric vehicle adoption to each country's unique strengths and challenges.
All these reports are available free of charge in the Editorial Board EVBoosters database. Let's continue the conversation and work towards a greener future together.
