In one of three major expansions of its robust knowledge-sharing programme, the World Future Energy Summit, hosted by Masdar, has announced the launch of a dedicated eMobility Forum to debut at the 2024 event, the 16th in the annual series, which runs at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) from April 16-18.

With the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) EV market predicted to reach a USD 4.3 bn valuation by 2028, the first-ever eMobility Forum on April 18 will feature expert local and global speakers, including ministerial officials, climate change advocates, investors, mobility solutions planners and architects, logistics providers, civil and urban engineers, transport systems executives, and EV resellers.

Through a series of discussions, presentations, and fireside chats, the high-profile industry collective will scrutinise the viability of regional EV targets, how clean and autonomous transport will transform city design, ways to enhance stakeholder involvement, and the regulatory frameworks required to govern EV usage.

A Forum highlight will be the presentation of the ‘Scaling Up Electric Mobility in Pakistan’ report, which was commissioned by the Pakistan Private Sector Energy Project (PPSEP) with the support of United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO,  the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Private Funding Advisory Network (PFAN)) and Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP), which advances the deployment of reliable and clean energy solutions in low and middle-income countries.

“As one of the world's largest motorcycle markets, with nearly half of all households owning a bike, Pakistan’s mobility sector is gearing up for transformative change,” stated Naveen Ahmed, Country Transaction Coordinator at PFAN.

The presentation of the report comes as Pakistan continues to foot a hefty fuel import bill, faces alarming pollution in major cities and has surplus power. “The theme of our report is to discuss the mobility landscape in Pakistan, our potential contribution in combating climate change, and the commercial opportunities it presents within the EV ecosystem. It comprises crucial guidelines for public and private stakeholders towards implementing Pakistan’s National Electric Vehicle Policy and ways to fast-track the EV value chain throughout the country.

“eMobility is crucial to achieving regional net zero 2050 targets and we are seeing determined progress,” commented Leen AlSebai, General Manager of RX Middle East and Head of the World Future Energy Summit. “The UAE, for instance, is ranked seventh globally and leads the region in the EV readiness index, signifying its commitment to sustainable transportation with 82 per cent of its residents willing to buy an EV as their next vehicle.
