Regional Electric Vehicle Strategy
“To deliver intelligent, modern, affordable, clean, efficient and safe mobility solutions for CARICOM citizens and businesses through the electrification of surface transportation within the Community.”
The Regional Electric Vehicle Strategy (REVS) aims to specifically catalyse the deployment of electric vehicles across all modes of transportation in the Caribbean, while acknowledging the urgent need for comprehensive changes in the transport systems, driving behaviours and mobility preferences of the Caribbean people. The transport sector is a significant contributor to economic development and is increasingly linked with the energy sector, which has prompted an era of disruption ignited by emerging transport technologies and changing stakeholder requirements.
As Caribbean countries pursue the transition towards a sustainable, efficient and effective transportation sector, the accompanying successful delivery of future transport services will be driven by three main disruptors: (1) Electrification, (2) Connectivity through Digitalisation and (3) Shifting and Managing Transport Demand.
