While developed markets have been at the forefront of ZEV deployment with well-established infrastructures, stricter government regulations and policy incentives, the adoption of these technologies has been progressing at a much slower pace in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). The ZEV Emerging Markets Initiative (ZEV-EMI), launched jointly by WBCSD and the U.S., U.K. and governments under the ZEVTC, aims to elevate cooperation between governments and businesses in EMDEs to accelerate the transition to ZEVs.
