Morocco Seeks Ways to Foster Sustainable Transport Systems

An interdisciplinary professional association for electric mobility has been established in Morocco to foster sustainable transportation in the country.

The Intersectoral Professional Association for Electric Mobility (APIME) is a 14-member executive committee which will oversee the effort to lessen air pollution brought on by thermal vehicles.

Among them are Karim Boukaa, CEO of the solar solutions company Adiwatt, Moulay Hafid Amrani, managing director of the investment firm Afrimobility, and Allal Benjelloun, managing director of the Centrale automobile chérifienne (CAC), which imports the automakers Audi, Volkswagen, and Skoda into Morocco.

The new platform is backed by business people and the National Federation of Electricity, Electronics and Renewable Energy in Morocco.

The Moroccan government is also attempting to put in place an energy transition strategy that supports the decarbonisation of urban transportation.
