PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

Technologies are available BUT implementation is a challenge because:

• Lack of awareness and knowledge on energy efficiency and

sustainable mobility

• Lack of alignment of local municipalities and national strategies

• Insufficient capacity and skills in the industry

• Link between R&D and market/private sector is not strong

• Cultural resistance to sustainability movement

• Spatial development not optimal

• Limited performance measures (Methodological and M&E)

• Funding and limited investment of sustainable projects

CHALLENGES

PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

• Current situation

– Energy – imported, dirty, costly, waste

– Tools – inefficient, oversized, waste, kills

– Integration – competing, not connected, takes longer

• Options

– Fit for purpose - size + application

– Electric - most efficient

– Renewable - sustainable

– Connected - integrated, shared

– Autonomous - safe

AFRICA CLEAN MOBILITY

• Fuel economy policies as part of the nationally determined contributions

reporting since fuel economy policies support national and global climate

change targets.

• Regional harmonized approach to fuel economy policy development and

implementation (such as fiscal policies, vehicle labelling, electric mobility

policies, etc.).

• Tailor-made products for African countries, e.g. electric motorcycles

capable to run long distance, high load and rough roads, local

manufacturing capacities.

• Integration of policies into the wider urban transport system planning,

including non-motorized transport.

• Provision of incentives for local manufacturing and/or assembly of

cleaner vehicles, effectively creating capacity and jobs for cleaner

technology here in Africa.
