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.​

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.
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.
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).
The SOLUTIONSplus project in Quito focuses on low-carbon logistics, decarbonizing public transport, MaaS, and gender inclusion. The City Roadmap, aligned with the 2024 Sustainable Mobility Master Plan, aims to promote low-carbon, integrated, and inclusive mobility.
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.
