High rates of urban development in Latin America over the 20th century have acted as a double-edged sword for its people and the environment. Urbanisation and the mass movement of people to the cities have added upward pressure on the demand for public transport, and the industry remains the primary source of greenhouse gas emissions in Latin America. Business models and financing strategies offer an opportunity to support the transition from diesel buses to electric buses by minimising the risks and creating incentives.
Driving the Change: Accelerating Public Transport’s Transition to E-Buses – #1 Learning from Latin America’, will constitute the first episode of a series we aim to produce focusing on enabling the decarbonisation of bus systems worldwide featuring essential experts and stakeholders. This first webinar will explore the successes of implementation in Latin America, where we observe the highest bus usage per capita on the planet. Despite various barriers, some of the continent’s largest conurbations have been steadily transitioning to cleaner solutions and are already garnering the benefits. If more obstacles need to be overcome to allow for wider adoption, those pioneers provide true tales of successful implementations and crucial learnings to scale up this momentum.
