UNEP IN 2022

With developing countries set to add 1 billion vehicles by 2050, efforts are needed to ensure that the fleet expansion is low- or zero-emission based. In 2022, UNEP launched its Global Electric Mobility Programme, which supports 50 low-and-middle-income countries with the shift from fossil fuel-based to electric vehicles.

For example, the Seychelles is implementing a pilot project to electrify its bus fleet. In Viet Nam, UNEP is supporting the postal delivery service to switch to electric three-wheelers. And the programme is supporting Chile in replicating its successful Santiago electric bus model to other cities.
