Colombia has a wide network of companies engaged in vehicle assembly (cars, buses, cargo and motorcycles), as well as producers of auto parts and industry-specific components. Additionally, the Government has developed various efforts to reduce emissions from the transportation sector by promoting electric and hydrogen mobility within the framework of its energy transition policy. For instance, Bogotá, the capital city, has become a pioneer in electric buses on the continent. We invite you to join us to explore the offer of Colombia in the Sustainable Mobility sector through an agenda covering Bogota, Medellín, and Cali. During this agenda, we will have meetings with vehicle assemblers, spare auto parts manufacturers, industry associations, charging station providers, and investment projects in the sector.
