E-Moviliza

The E-Moviliza Project

The main objective of the project is to accelerate the adoption of low-carbon electric mobility in Ecuador, reducing fossil fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and air pollution in the transport sector.

The project is built around four key components:

Institutionalization of low-carbon electric mobility.
Electric mobility pilots to address short-term barriers.
Scaling up and replication.
Promoting long-term environmental sustainability.

Strategies for Electric Fleet Management and Optimization. This topic explores electric vehicle fleet management through the use of route optimization tools, taking into account technical parameters, range limitations, and opportunities to improve operational efficiency. It also examines vehicle rotation strategies to manage peak demand and battery health monitoring as a key factor in ensuring operational continuity.

2020 - 2024

Ecuador's National Government has advanced e-mobility through the Energy Competitiveness Law (2024), the National Policy of Sustainable Mobility and the National e-Mobility Strategy (2021). However, more incentives and regulations are needed for a full e-mobility transition.

The workshop engaged key stakeholders in discussing the project’s objectives, challenges, and opportunities. It encouraged active participation, explored institutional roles, and addressed gender-focused initiatives and considerations.

Steering Committee

Launch event and kick-off workshop

As part of the institutional setup, a Steering Committee was proposed to guide the project's technical and strategic implementation. The first meeting of this committee took place on May 28, 2024, with representatives from MAATE, MTOP, MEM, UNEP, and UEMI.

November 2023

On November 29, 2023, the project was launched with the signing of the Cooperation Agreement for "Supporting the Transition to Low-Carbon Electric Mobility in Ecuador (2023-2026)." The agreement involves UNEP as the implementing agency, UEMI as the executing agency, and the Ministry of Environment, Water and Ecological Transition (MAATE) as the main beneficiary in coordination with the Ministry of Transport and Public Works (MTOP) and the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM).
