CO2 emissions associated with transport
Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá
It is estimated that Colombia loses about 2%
of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per
year due to the effect of congestion in cities.
At the time of entering the cities, cargo vehicles see
their average speed reduced from 50 km/h to 10
km/h, which affects the productivity of the
transport mode.

The “new” way of urban logistics in Colombia : Electric Light Vehicles
The initiatives are reinforced with the first 114 power connectors and 47 different points in the country
According to the most recent report of the National Association for Sustainable Mobility (Andemos), as of
March 2019, 403 vehicles of this type were registered in the country, 291.3% more than in 2018.
Companies in Colombia such as:
Some of these firms have
started to add electric vehicles
to their fleet or are working on
a pilot with these types of cars.

Where are the GAPS?
• No long-term projection at the
regional and national level
• Fear of risk from logistics
operators
• No clear financing structures for
the implementation of active
mobility and for implementation
of electric solutions
• Very small market for sustainable
mobility solutions
• No applicability of development
plans
• No coordination by local and
national government entities
• All local development plans
point to the development of
active mobility, electric
mobility and sustainable
urban logistics projects
• Intention of some of the
logistics operators to
implement more sustainable
mobility solutions
• Pilot projects by private
associations
• Better in the importance of
sustainable mobility
awareness of the citizens
• Lack of knowledge of some
other logistics operators and
their preference for
traditional transportation
methods
• Non-continuation of
development plans after the
end of the regional mandate
• No understanding of the
needs and benefits of more
sustainable mobility methods
by some citizens
• No regulations for the use of
cargo bikes
• Active participation of
different institutional actors
on issues of sustainable
mobility in cities (private,
public and academic)
• Every day more specialized
institutions and entities
• Increase in the use of
sustainable mobility
solutions
• Topographic conditions
that favor the use of
electric vehicles
• Regulation for electric
mobility in citiesPg.40
