Electric mobility, or e-mobility, has become one of the rapidly developing opportunities to contribute to nations’ climate and development goals, including climate change mitigation, fiscal burden reduction (for oil importing economies), energy efficiency, sustainability, air quality improvement, and promoting modal shift where applicable (e.g. expanding access to electrified public transport). For a region featuring diverse urban settings like the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), different local circumstances lead to different rationales for adopting various modalities of e-mobility. Considering relatively little attention being paid to public transport electrification in MENA, this study, “Unlocking Electric Mobility Potential in MENA” funded by the ESMAP, MOLO and PPIAF trust funds, set out to examine the opportunities and challenges and finding solutions to help address this gap.en-USCC BY-NC 3.0 IGOELECTRIC MOBILITYE-MOBILITYTRANSPORTATIONGHGMENAENERGY TRANSITIONReportWorld Bank10.1596/40483
