More InformationIn 2022, when the TUMI E-Bus Mission was launched, we had an ambitious goal: to enable the procurement of 100,000 electric buses and transform urban mobility worldwide. Now, as this global mission comes to an end, we celebrate the impact, stories and legacy that will continue to drive the future of sustainable transport.
Background
© TUMI Funded by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), a core group of organizations—including C40 Cities, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP), ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, the International Association of Public Transport (UITP), and the World Resources Institute (WRI)—came together to accelerate the transition to electric buses across the Global South.
From 2021 to 2025, the TUMI E-Bus Mission led an unprecedented effort to build coalitions at global and local levels, working closely with 20 Deep Dive Cities and inspiring commitments in 100 more. Through roadmaps, technical assistance, and knowledge sharing, the Mission empowered cities to develop e-bus fleets tailored to their needs. By uniting public and private sector partners, it laid the groundwork for a lasting community driving the shift toward cleaner, greener, and more livable urban transport worldwide.
