Assessment of Impacts from the Transition to Electric Mobility in Morocco

Global climate change initiatives have recommended significant changes in mobility technologies due to increasing emissions in the transportation sector, which accounts for about a quarter of total global emissions. These initiatives have encouraged the use of alternative options with cleaner fuels, such as electric mobility, which is one of the most important options being introduced worldwide. Moreover, Morocco made progress toward achieving the principle of sustainability, which requires addressing many challenges, including climate protection, pollution prevention, and the preservation of ecosystems and human health, and ensured the fulfillment of Morocco's energy commitments, particularly with respect to the reliability of energy supply in the transport sector. However, electric mobility faces significant constraints to large-scale implementation, such as costs, infrastructure, and institutional barriers, which are beyond the ability of transport sector actors to overcome them. In this article, the effects of the transition to electric mobility in Morocco are analyzed using an approach called the A3 report, to address the transition towards sustainable mobility in Morocco. This analysis is supported by a research report on the evaluation of sustainable mobility in Morocco, carried out by the Moroccan Energy Federation, the Sunergia group, and Nevolys consulting.
