The National Electric Mobility Policy Roadmap serves as an action plan with a focus on the development pathways which will achieve wide-scale electric vehicle (EV) deployment in the context of Zimbabwe. For this, a set of policies were selected from the National Electric Mobility Policy and Market Readiness Framework (hereinafter referred to as Policy Framework) for implementation. Electric mobility roadmap […]

As per IEA Global Energy Review 2021 Globally, carbon dioxide emissions via coal energy generation plants are on course to surge by 1.5 billion tones. To address this, Countries around the world have to move rapidly to start cutting emissions addressing climate change. One of the leading sectors contributing to carbon emissions is transport sector. To address emission issues pertaining […]

In the Solomon Islands, the pressure on urban transport is evident, mainly due to the rapidly expanding urban areas in the Solomon Islands, that is, in Honiara and other rapidly expanding urban areas. Given the past trends of vehicle growth by 2030 and 2050, the Solomon Islands will have a significantly large number of cars used for personal use and […]
