Abstract
Due to the global interest in facing climate change, the world strives to control greenhouse gas emissions associated with anthropogenic activities, such as road transport. Mexico collaborates with the international agenda and establishes its national objectives and strategies, considering electromobility to mitigate emissions. However, the country faces implementation and compliance obstacles, such as the electricity produced to power electric vehicles generates indirect emissions. Therefore, the main contribution of this study is to provide a novel and robust overview of the Mexican road transport sector from a systemic and comprehensive perspective. This is with the objective to develop an updated business-as-usual emissions projection and compare it against the reduction targets, identifying challenges, strengths, and drivers that condition the performance of electromobility and the sustainable energy transition of the sector. The study creates a foundation for future studies of decarbonization scenarios strategies, including electromobility, to achieve an actual reduction without burden shifting.
