Expo Electric Mobility 2024, held in Montevideo, was an event organized to promote electric mobility as one of the fundamental strategies to ensure the decarbonization of transportation. The event was driven by the National Energy Directorate of Uruguay with the goal of fostering electric mobility by bringing together key public and private sector players.<\/p>\n
This activity featured the participation of Uruguay’s Minister of Industry, Elisa Facio; the National Director of Energy from the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mining (MIEM), Christian Nieves; the Vice President of UTE, Pablo Ferrari; his counterpart at Ancap, Diego Durand; the National Director of Climate Change, Natalie Pareja; and the Director of Studies and Projects from The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE), Fitzgerald Cantero.<\/p>\n
During her speech, Facio noted that promoting electric mobility policy is a key factor in advancing the second energy transition, which involves the decarbonization of the global energy matrix. In this regard, she mentioned that 37% of Uruguay’s energy matrix is of fossil origin, and that half of that percentage corresponds to the transportation sector, which is why she considered electric mobility essential for decarbonizing this sector.<\/p>\n
Fitzgerald Cantero, in his intervention, highlighted the importance of events like this, where countries share best practices on energy issues, especially in the development of electric mobility. He presented the project “Monitoring Electromobility” in Latin America and the Caribbean, developed by OLACDE. He explained that a Technical Note was presented, which included data on electric cars (BEV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV), electric buses, and their charging infrastructure. Projections of the vehicle fleet and the necessary investments for new energy generation were also analyzed.<\/p>\n
This event provided an opportunity for the public to learn about products, projects, and initiatives related to sustainable mobility, and for companies, state organizations, and civil society to exchange perspectives on the development and current status of electric mobility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
