ICLEI World Congress Workshop Report

At the ICLEI World Congress 2024 in São Paulo, TUMI led discussions on the transition to electric buses, focusing on sustainable urban transport. The event gathered global leaders, multilateral banks, and city officials, emphasizing the importance of national and sub-national policies for e-bus scaling, business models, and a just mobility transition. Cities like Medellín and Belo Horizonte shared their experiences, highlighting challenges like financing and infrastructure. The forum also explored gender inclusivity in mobility, with a focus on workforce diversity and equitable public transport access. TUMI’s goal of preparing 100,000 e-buses by 2025 continues to inspire progress in cleaner, more inclusive cities.
