Integrated adoption of electric mobility in Jordan To catalyze and accelerate the breakthrough of electric mobility in urban areas in Jordan through innovation and technology transfer Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. Economic benefits:The project will have multiple socio-economic benefits at the national and local levels. These benefits will help to boost the interest of integration the EVs in Jordan and this will contribute to global reduction in GHG emissions. Jordan imports about 94% of its energy needs, the highest level of the energy imports present economic risks, as well as making the nation's economy internationally vulnerable to volatility, so, the benefits at economic growth will be in improved energy efficiency, employment prosperity and competitive productivity. The national and local quality of air is a critical benefit to be gained by the promotion of EVs.In gender point of view aspect, the project will offer a regular work for women in labor market in Jordan. The development in the access for both women and men to safer, cleaner, and more efficient transport, thereby will increase the economic growth by minimizing travel time and ensuring reliable modes of transport. Health and Social benefits:        This project will support creation of additional work opportunities, develop technological skills, and thus improve the quality of life of local community. The adoption of EVs can create a new business environment for both men and women. Compared to the base year 2010, the substantial rise in car mileage will increase fuel consumption by nearly 30% until 2030 and CO2 will increase by 26% according to MoT. In particular, the integration of electric vehicles will decrease Jordan's dependency on gasoline will play an important role in decreasing fuel consumption and mitigating CO2, CO, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Particular Matter (PM). The project will integrate gender dimensions into Petra e-bus project to ensure that local women will benefit from the public transportation. Safe access to public transport services are expected to improve women's access to employment opportunities. Please see ESMP for more details of the project interventions.
