Urban Electric Mobility Initiative (UEMI)

🌿 Vietnam's Path to Sustainable Urban Mobility: Hanoi's Green Transformation 🌿 Vietnam is stepping up its fight against climate change and urban transportation challenges with ambitious goals and innovative solutions. The Green Growth Strategy 2021-2030 and the upcoming Climate Change Strategy 2021-2030 set the stage for a low-carbon future, focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to green energy. Current State and Future Vision: 🏙️ Urban Transport Challenges: Hanoi’s rapid urbanization and high dependence on private vehicles highlight the need for an improved public transport system. With a growing population and traffic congestion, expanding and enhancing public transportation is essential. 🌬️ Air Quality and Emissions: The transport sector is a major contributor to Hanoi’s air pollution, with significant levels of PM2.5. Addressing this through effective policies and sustainable transport solutions is vital for improving urban air quality. Vietnam’s journey towards sustainable urban transport is marked by both challenges and opportunities. 🚨 Addressing Urban Challenges: Hanoi faces critical issues related to greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, traffic congestion, and traffic accidents. To meet the government’s COP26 commitments, the city must prioritize policies that encourage public transportation, particularly shared two-wheelers. 🚲 Shared Two-Wheeler Solutions: The shared two-wheeler service has proven effective globally in reducing emissions and easing traffic congestion. In Vietnam, this model is expanding with successful implementations in cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang. By expanding electric and shared transport solutions, enhancing public transport infrastructure, and implementing effective policies, the country can pave the way for cleaner, more efficient cities.

Every September 7 we celebrate the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, highlighting the urgent need for global action to combat air pollution and improve air quality. Clean Air Asia is leading the call to address this issue in the region and recognizes that investing in cleaner air is vital for safeguarding both public health and the environment. By prioritizing air quality improvements, we can help prevent serious health issues and ensure a sustainable future. Swipe through to learn more about the significance of the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies and discover why it is crucial to invest in #CleanAirNow.

Excited to be part of the C40 Cities' campaign #ItsInTheAir in Quito. The electric minivans manufactured in Ecuador for the #SOLUTIONSplus project will be part of this event that highlights people-focused transport and urban planning initiatives. Seven cities around the world that have committed to establishing or expanding clean air zones by 2030 are part of the campaign. Glad to support Quito on the establishment of its Historic Center as a Low Emissions Zone with 18 Light Electric Vehicles (LEV) for last mile logistics and passenger transportation. ⚡🚲🔋🚚

In Quito, the capacity building for women drivers of e-cargo bikes continues. The second training was focused on assertive communication and occupational health ⚡🚲. ♀️UEMI in collaboration with Fundación Red Sostenible and Carishina en bici will keep working to empower women from recyclers associations and courier services to use light electric vehicles in their operations.

Take a look at this blog that summarizes the implementation of the SOLUTIONSplus project in Quito-Ecuador. Thanks to a collaboration with the Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (IDB) Cities Lab, several data were collected related to pedestrians' perception of light electric vehicles and the satisfaction of the final users and customers that received deliveries with the vehicles from the project. The IDB also analyzed data provided by air quality sensors that were installed on the electric cargo bikes during the pilot. Electric mobility pilots are important to reduce barriers in the implementation of new technologies. UEMI will keep working on scaling up this type of initiatives to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in Quito and Ecuador. https://lnkd.in/e686Pb34

📣We keep working to empower women in sustainable mobility in Quito-Ecuador. 🚲 UEMI implemented workshops focused on capacity building for women drivers of e-cargo bikes in collaboration with Fundación Red Sostenible and Carishina en bici. The training considers theoretical and practical classes with a total of 6 sessions. ⚡ Some topics included in the training are electromobility, use, and maintenance of light electric vehicles, prevention of gender-based violence, assertive communication, rights, leadership, and empowerment, among others. ♀️14 women from recyclers associations and courier delivery services participate in these training sessions. #GenderEquality #WomenInTransport #SustainableMobility

Women face significant challenges while commuting, including safety concerns, complex travel patterns due to caregiving responsibilities, and transport systems that often fail to consider their needs. These factors limit their mobility and access to opportunities, highlighting the need for gender-sensitive urban planning and building feminist cities.
