6 TRANSPORT ENERGY DEMAND Source: Cape Town Energy 2040

7 METRO TARGETS Source: Cape Town Energy 2040

8 CHALLENGES Technologies are available BUT implementation is a challenge because: Lack of awareness and knowledge on energy efficiency and sustainable mobility Lack of alignment of local municipalities and national strategies Insufficient capacity and skills in the industry Link between R&D and market/private sector is not strong Cultural resistance to sustainability movement Spatial development not optimal Limited performance measures (Methodological and M&E) Funding and limited investment of sustainable projects

9 OPPORTUNITIES Current situation Energy imported, dirty, costly, waste Tools inefficient, oversized, waste, kills Integration competing, not connected, takes longer Options Fit for purpose - size + application Electric - most efficient Renewable - sustainable Connected - integrated, shared Autonomous - safe

10 POLICY AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK the dti (2017) Ad Valorem luxury tax Import duties and export offsets Regulatory uncertainty Dedicated finance supporting the development green road transport Air Quality Act to promote green road transport in cities PRESENTATION Enforcement of CO2 labelling GUIDELINES Awareness raising for electric vehicle use Policy fragmentation Data gathering for research purposes and policy determination Limited infrastructure for distribution of electricity for transportation

AFRICAN GREEN TRANSPORT STRATEGY Single ticketing system Intelligent transport system - IoT NMT infrastructure BRT systems Integration into school curriculum Priority public transport lanes Procurement guidelines National electric charging infrastructure Environmental levies Tax incentives for green vehicles Congestion charge Tests on exhaust emissions Zoning Emission taxes Added tax to new fuel vehicles Car life cycle limits Policy and Regulatory Framework

16 AFRICA CLEAN MOBILITY Fuel economy policies as part of the nationally determined contributions reporting since fuel economy policies support national and global climate change targets. Regional harmonized approach to fuel economy policy development and implementation (such as fiscal policies, vehicle labelling, electric mobility policies, etc.). Tailor-made products for African countries, e.g. electric motorcycles capable to run long distance, high load and rough roads, local manufacturing capacities. Integration of policies into the wider urban transport system planning, including non-motorized transport. Provision of incentives for local manufacturing and/or assembly of cleaner vehicles, effectively creating capacity and jobs for cleaner technology here in Africa.
