Component 2: Pilot Project Implementation

 

At the heart of the project is a pilot initiative to operate a minimum of four electric vans and six light electric vehicles in the logistics and services sector for 12 months. It is designed to support last-mile logistics in the historic center of Quito. 

These vans will be acquired through innovative renting contracts, marking a pioneering effort in Ecuador's electric vehicle market.  

A monitoring and data collection system will be integrated to provide valuable information for decision making. The pilot results aimed to provide evidence to local stakeholders, mainly private decision makers as well as public policy makers, of the technical, financial and environmental feasibility of low carbon electric mobility in Ecuador.
