Decarbonising land transport, a sector accounting for one-sixth of global emissions, is key to our net-zero targets. In Asia, policymakers have beefed up incentives and subsidies to boost both supply and demand of electric vehicles (EVs); by 2030, Asia is expected to be the global hub for EVs, accounting for the largest market for EVs worth 700 billion to $750 billion USD.

However, infrastructure, talent and digital gaps; change management challenges, and a lack of integrated solutions to solve these challenges pose significant roadblocks to Asia's pivot to sustainable transportation. This is exacerbated by an uncertain macroeconomic environment and volatile geopolitical landscape. Presenters and panellists from across the EV value chain will shed light on Asia’s transition to decarbonised transportation – identifying levers for scaling of EV manufacturing as well as consumer and commercial adoption.

Join us on 27 June for a discussion on:

• How OEMs have and could benefit from policies in China, India and Southeast Asia to scale EV manufacturing and adoption;
• State of technology for EVs (e.g. battery, production capability) and infrastructure (e.g. charging, battery swapping) for EV adoption;
• Barriers and opportunities to scale up consumer and commercial EV adoption for decarbonisation in the region.
