In August of this year, The Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry and the Foundation for Transport signed a memorandum of understanding to promote sustainable mobility.

As transport accounts for nearly 20 per cent of Malta’s carbon emissions, this sector can contribute greatly to a greener economy. Through the electrification of the vehicle fleet, Malta will succeed in significantly lowering its emissions, and tackling air pollution. Therefore, this initiative is not only an environmental responsibility, but is also a question of public health. Through this MOU, The Malta Chamber aims to facilitate the path towards electrifying Malta’s vehicle fleet.

The Malta Chamber recognises the scale of the challenge – and that it can only be achieved through collaboration. In developing its policy for sustainable transport, The Malta Chamber’s Sustainable Mobility committee tapped into international expertise. Through the German Embassy, the committee engaged in a dialogue with an electromobility think tank. The main lesson was that Malta should learn from the experience of those who have already embarked on the journey towards electrification.
