Lack of required Infrastructure

Dear Alyson Da Luz Pereira Rodrigues,

In my opinion, the main barriers to the implementation of electric buses in emerging countries include the limited budgets of public funds of local governments allocated for environmental purposes, for the development of electromobile means of public transport. In addition, lobbying for local companies that provide services to companies and citizens using internal combustion motor vehicles. Another factor limiting the development of electromobile public transport is the lack of a developed infrastructure necessary for the effective functioning of electromobile motor vehicles, including electric buses.

Best regards,

I fully agree with Prof. Dariusz Prokopowickz answer, one of the main problemas of underdevelopped countries is the lack of ressources (money), wich in general ends in that the one that has it has more "negotiation power" (Porter would say so) than the rest.

So, the person owning petrol burning buses will try to stop switching to electric buses because he thus avoid making new investments. As the government of underdevelopped coubtrues don´t have the ressources to stop him, electric buses have to wait.

That is the main reason, the other one is that underdevelopped countries in general have urgent problems (health for instance) so strategic things are left aside.

I agree with the answers: funding problems, corruption, infrastructure problems, lack of negotiation power, etc. I also would like to add a lack of intention, information, vision, and organizational capacity. It is not only the barrier to electric buses but also any innovative activity.

No esta dentro de su planificación estratégica, presupuesto público, en estos momentos están realizando gastos en prioridades como la salud pública, educación online y reactivación económica, probablemente en el futuro como estrategia de medio ambiental,....

In the South African case, there is very little investment of public funds in mass transportation perhaps due other competing social demands and as a rusult a semi-formal private industry of minibus taxes offers flexible albeit unsafe public transportation option.

Electricification of buses would require investment in recharging infrastructure which will most likely have to be borne by private companies and therefore would require industry-wide coordination which is not easy. Also, in a country that produces circa 90% of its electricity from coal, electrification of mass transportation does not appear to benefit the phsical environment.

Alyson Da Luz Pereira Rodrigues, Dear Sir, my answer here is with the perspective of countries like India, we primarily have thought processes at both the extreme ends of the spectrum. There are environment enthusiasts and people who understand where the future is headed for .....and there is another category who is unaware and not bothered (probably because they are stuck in the gambit to ensure survival) and then there are lobbyists and politicians so we are walking a tight rope where there is lack of awareness, infrastructural issues, lack of funding and above all lack of vision and determination on the part of the policymaker and I forgot to mention ...corruption.

Awareness of how would they work with the challenges of energy in most emerging economies

Buy in from the industry, its critical to get a but in from the owners of the industry and how will they benefit from the introduction of electric busses
