Advancing e-mobility business opportunities and innovative solutions
in emerging markets

Transport is the fastest-growing contributor to climate change, already accounting for 23 percent of global energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. But the good news is that the potential of electric vehicles (EVs) and ongoing innovation in e-logistics technology (including EV charging stations and batteries) mean there is an exciting solution for cutting millions of tonnes of GHG emissions produced by the transport sector in cities across the globe every year, as well as curbing air and noise pollution. Investments in e-mobility have been given fresh impetus as countries have incorporated green recovery plans into their post-COVID–19 economic rescue packages, to “build back better”.

This resource page showcases IFC’s track record in providing strong leadership and e-mobility solutions that deliver outcomes for countries that are aligned with green rebuilding efforts, post-COVID-19, supporting sustainable economic growth in emerging markets. The resources highlight potential business opportunities and profile IFC-led Upstream investments and other projects that are building momentum for e-mobility and e-logistics solutions.
