Mexican Ambassador to Germany Highlights Nation's Commitment and Infrastructure Boom in Electromobility Transition

The Mexican ambassador to Germany highlighted Mexico's strategic initiatives and infrastructure aimed at sustaining its industrial growth, particularly in electromobility. He emphasized that Mexico has prioritized energy security to keep industry costs competitive, thus maintaining its promise as a preferred global industrial platform with unparalleled access to North America, Latin America, and Asia. The ambassador acknowledged the mutual benefits from close economic ties with the U.S., bolstered by agreements like NAFTA. Mexico is currently experiencing an industrial boom with significant developments in automotive exports. The country aims to retain its relevance amid the transition towards decarbonization and electromobility despite international competition primarily from China and Korea. Efforts include extensive collaboration with Asian and American automakers for recharging infrastructure improvements such as induction charging systems on highways. Government incentives are driving this push toward sustainable mobility alongside federal, state efforts under a national strategy integrating aspects of the U.S.'s IRA law into North America’s supply chain ecosystem. However, challenges remain around ensuring adequate workforce training and securing necessary permits for energy provisions. Recently elected President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo brings her background in physics and environmental engineering to further support these transitions reflecting her success as governor of densely populated Mexico City.

For more than two decades, Norway has been steadily building a marketplace for electric transport. Having started out with inexpensive short-range electric cars and household charging sockets, Norway has now moved to mass-market solutions where fast charging (DC) and grid balancing (AC) plays an ever more vital role. With more than 1,000,000 electric cars and over 10,000 fast chargers in a relatively small market, Norway offers a rare early view of large-scale electrification. Over the past decade, electric cars have seen substantial improvements, which is now making it easier for new markets to advance electrification. At the same time, Norway has to deal with challenges years before other markets do. Yet despite different starting points, we can see that most markets are facing the same core challenges. From grid-smart charging strategies to innovative business models, there are excellent examples of best practices emerging elsewhere in Europe. What will the next thing in electrification be, both in mature and in emerging markets? And what will be possible when the right people and companies come together, sharing knowledge, solving common problems and accelerating the shift to cleaner mobility?
