Navarra drives electric vehicle transition with a new public-private...
The Under2 Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Project supports state and regional governments to increase the number of zero emission vehicles on their roads.
The project offers participants the opportunity to network with other subnational leaders, share experience and identify innovative policies to accelerate the uptake of zero emission transport.
Governments in the Under2 Coalition are already making ambitious commitments to ZEVs ahead of the Global Climate Action Summit (GCAS) in California in September 2018. This project gives them the platform to drive these commitments forward, as well as support the wider ZEV commitment being made by cities, states and regions and business ahead of summit.
The project complements EV100, a global campaign led by The Climate Group, which brings together forward-looking companies committed to accelerating the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) and making electric transport the new normal by 2030. It also works closely with the ZEV Alliance, a network of 14 national and subnational governments collaborating to increase global ZEV adoption.
The Under2 ZEV Project is being implemented by The Climate Group, as part of the Under2 Coalition, with the support of the Scottish Government.
During the project, participants engage in regular online meetings to discuss around a series of topics and corresponding policy actions they can take:
Supporting ZEV adoption by businesses
Enabling the installation of charging infrastructure
Turning government fleets electric
Raising public awareness
Developing a robust ZEVs supply chain
Future trends for private transportation (ride hailing, ride sharing, autonomous vehicles, etc.) and their impact on ZEV adoption
We work with a group of committed state and regional governments, including:
The Under2 ZEV Project is open to all the Under2 Coalition governments committed to accelerating the uptake of zero emission vehicles. If you want to get involved, please contact Juliette Baralon at jbaralon@theclimategroup.org.
Here's why you should get involved:
1. An opportunity to be a ZEV leader
Don't miss this exciting opportunity to design the future of clean transport within states and regions. Being part of the group positions participants as world leaders in ZEV adoption and offers the opportunity to demonstrate that leadership on a global scale.
2. Inspiration from successful policy
Be inspired by the innovative policies that Under2 governments around the world are already taking to accelerate ZEV adoption and use those to deliver success within your jurisdiction.
3. A route to your ZEV commitments and beyond
Many members of the Under2 Coalition are already making ambitious commitments to transition to zero emission transportation. Being part of the Under2 ZEV Project will help keep you on track to deliver these commitments and inspire you to go further.
4. Now is the time to act
The coming decade will be a defining one the global ZEV market. Falling battery prices, increased ZEV commitments from automakers, and growing consumer acceptance may create a turning point in ZEV adoption. This means acting now can keep you ahead of the game.
