Mexico is at a critical juncture in its transition toward sustainable and low-emission mobility systems. The transport sector remains one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for approximately 23% of total emissions, and represents a key area for achieving national climate commitments under the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0). Despite growing political commitment and the development of the National Electric Mobility Strategy (ENME), significant structural barriers continue to hinder large-scale deployment of electromobility. These include fragmented regulatory frameworks, limited interinstitutional coordination, infrastructure gaps, insufficient technical standards, and a lack of scalable financial and operational models. The project "MOVERSE - Urban Sustainable Mobility in Mexico", implemented by the Mexican and German governments through SEDATU and GIZ, seeks to address these challenges by strengthening enabling conditions for sustainable and inclusive urban mobility. Within this framework, electromobility plays a central role in advancing decarbonization, improving air quality, and modernizing transport systems.

81322784-Electromobility and urban infrastructure development for sustainable mobility in Mexico

To be provided are strategic, technical, and operational support to strengthen electromobility deployment in Mexico. The approach combines regulatory development, infrastructure planning, institutional coordination, and knowledge transfer, ensuring a coherent and scalable transition toward low-emission mobility systems. The activities will be structured under three core work packages: Work Package 1: Policy, Regulation and Technical Standards for Electromobility This work package focuses on establishing a coherent and harmonized regulatory framework to enable large-scale adoption of electromobility in Mexico. It aims to develop a National Roadmap for E-Mobility Standards and Regulations, serving as a strategic reference for federal and subnational authorities. - Development of a national regulatory framework aligned with international best practices - Definition of technical standards for charging infrastructure, vehicles, and system interoperability - Establishment of "EV-ready" requirements for buildings and urban infrastructure - Development of operational, safety, and maintenance standards for electric fleets - Definition of battery lifecycle management, including second-life and recycling protocols - Design of interinstitutional governance mechanisms for regulatory coordination This work package will result in a comprehensive White Paper consolidating regulatory recommendations, technical standards, and implementation pathways. Work Package 2: Multilevel Governance and Implementation of Electromobility This work package focuses on operationalizing electromobility policies through coordinated actions across federal, state, and local levels. - Implementation and operationalization of the National Electric Mobility Strategy (ENME) - Development of state-level electromobility strategies and implementation roadmaps - Design of regulatory harmonization frameworks across jurisdictions - Identification of financing mechanisms and business models for fleet electrification - Development of infrastructure planning guidelines and project pipelines - Integration of electromobility into climate policy instruments (NDC 3.0) This work package ensures that national policy objectives are translated into actionable measures and scalable projects. Work Package 3: Capacity Development, Training and Knowledge Transfer This work package focuses on strengthening institutional, technical, and operational capacities across stakeholders involved in the electromobility transition. - Design and implementation of training programs for public and private sector actors - Development of an online course on electromobility planning and implementation - Organization of workshops, webinars, and knowledge exchange events - Development of communication and knowledge products (guides, infographics, policy briefs) - Facilitation of stakeholder engagement and intersectoral dialogue This work package ensures that knowledge generated in the project is effectively transferred and institutionalized.
