Africa EV
Freight Forum.
Discover the vision behind the Africa EV Freight Forum and the collaboration needed to accelerate zero-emission freight across East Africa.
From viable cases to delivery.
Catalysing the transition to zero-emission freight vehicles through practical, investable and implementable projects.
The Africa EV Freight Forum convenes public- and private-sector leaders, financiers, development partners and freight operators to accelerate zero-emission freight across East Africa.
Viable business cases with tangible benefits can form the basis of the transition. The forum examines the aligned contributions needed across policy, partnerships, finance, infrastructure and implementation.
Policy
Creating enabling conditions for market development and deployment.
Partnerships
Aligning public and private actors across the freight value chain.
Finance
Building bankable business cases and investment-ready projects.
Infrastructure
Planning the charging, energy and corridor systems required at scale.
Implementation
Moving from strategic dialogue to practical flagship projects.
The Road to Africa journey will travel from Addis Ababa to Nairobi with an electric heavy-duty vehicle (HDV), connecting the forum’s discussions with a practical cross-border demonstration of zero-emission freight.
Two days.
One transition.
Day 1 brings together leaders for strategic dialogue on the enabling conditions for zero-emission freight. Day 2 turns that dialogue into applied learning through three practical tracks and a shared implementation plenary.
