Electromobility and urban infrastructure development for sustainable mobility in Mexico
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH
Mexico is at a critical juncture in its transition toward sustainable and low-emission mobility systems. The transport sector remains one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for approximately 23% of total emissions, and represents a key area for achieving national climate commitments under the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0). Despite growing political commitment and the development of the National Electric Mobility Strategy (ENME), significant structural barriers continue to hinder large-scale deployment of electromobility. These include fragmented regulatory frameworks, limited interinstitutional coordination, infrastructure gaps, insufficient technical standards, and a lack of scalable financial and operational models. The project "MOVERSE - Urban Sustainable Mobility in Mexico", implemented by the Mexican and German governments through SEDATU and GIZ, seeks to address these challenges by strengthening enabling conditions for...
