Activities
The project focused on pioneering affordable, reliable, and clean transportation solutions in Papua New Guinea, centering on e-mobility’s potential through comprehensive methods. This included stakeholder consultations, public and field surveys to understand mobility trends and preferences, and in-depth data analysis. A significant effort was the pre-feasibility study for introducing e-buses in Port Moresby, alongside creating a national e-mobility roadmap, drafting a policy, and enhancing local capacity to adopt e-mobility.
Surveys targeted various demographics, including the working class, students, and vendors, to gather insights on transportation needs, current modes in use and e-mobility awareness. A barrier assessment identified challenges to e-mobility adoption, spanning technical, economic, and policy obstacles. Market assessments evaluated vehicle distribution, infrastructure, and suitable EV models, considering the latest in e-mobility technologies and costs.
A pre-feasibility study for e-buses assessed route data, charging infrastructure, and solar energy feasibility. Capacity building emphasized gender inclusion and education on EV charging infrastructure and greenhouse gas emissions measurement, aligning with international standards.
The development of a national e-mobility roadmap and policy outlined strategies for reducing GHG emissions, including incentives, pilot projects, skill centers, and a charging network, aiming for a sustainable transport future in Papua New Guinea.
