tailieunhanh - Transition of electric mobility in Colombia: Technical and economic evaluation of scenarios for the integration of E-taxis in Bucaramanga

Globally, the transport sector has been directed towards electric mobility by policies, regulations, development strategies and economic incentives. The transport sector has an important strategic role in the economic development of a country, the sustainability of this sector has an impact on political and scientific discussions due to its environmental impact. In Colombia, the global targets for reducing polluting emissions begin to drive the renewal of the automotive park towards electric mobility, therefore, this research was carried out with the aim of carrying out a technical and economic analysis of scenarios for the e-taxis in Bucaramanga, the incentives applied in the two projects developed in the two most important cities of Colombia were taken as the basis to compare possible implementation scenarios in the short and medium term. | International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy ISSN 2146-4553 available at http International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy 2021 11 4 461-469.

The transport sector has an important strategic role in the economic development of a country the sustainability of this sector has an impact on political and scientific discussions due to its environmental impact. In Colombia the global targets for reducing polluting emissions begin to drive the renewal of the automotive park towards electric mobility therefore this research was carried out with the aim of carrying out a technical and economic analysis of scenarios for the e-taxis in Bucaramanga the incentives applied in the two projects developed in the two most important cities of Colombia were taken as the basis to compare possible implementation scenarios in the short and medium term. Three technologies gasoline gas and electric were evaluated that were tested using the TAC km indicator the financial viability was assessed based on two financial kindness criteria NPV and IRR . The results obtained allow to conclude two strategies that make it possible to incorporate the e-taxis in Bucaramanga 1 exemption from payment of taxi registration in case of incorporation of a new vehicle 2 economic incentive of more than 20 at the time of purchase of the EV accompanied by a 25 increase in the
