Unlocking Electric Mobility Potential in MENA | Executive Summary Egypt

 

Egypt is on a path toward greener, more resilient, and inclusive development, with high expectations for the electrification of transport, known as “electric mobility” (e-mobility), to play an important role. As part of the World Bank’s regional analytics and advisory support on e-mobility in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), the present report addresses key challenges and proposes actions to accelerate e-mobility adoption in Egypt. 

Public transport is a suitable sector to consider electrifying from climate transition and development perspectives, yet the sector faces challenges to enable a transition. Public transport provides affordable means for the Egyptians to access economic opportunities and services, building resilience to vulnerable groups with limited means to adapt and respond to climate and other risks. As compared to private vehicles, high mileage of public transport fleet particularly suits well to mitigate carbon emission and air pollution through electrification. As such, the Egypt analysis focuses on exploring opportunities to electrify public transport services in Greater Cairo context.
