Rabat – Since the world deals with the challenges of climate change and urbanization, Morocco is that Morocco is sealing To prove themselves as an unexpected pioneer in sustainable and green mobility.
The North African country not only fits the transition of green mobility, but also positions itself to lead it with ambitious plans that could re -change the transport landscape of the African continent.
On the latest Green Impact Expo & Summit 2025 (Gies2025) in Casablanca, Industry and Minister of Commerce Ryad Mezzour unveiled A brave vision that would bring Morocco into an elite group of nations with complete manufacturing skills of the electric vehicle (EV).
No longer a distant goal, but an achievable development of reality. Morocco will join the world’s best elite from only six countries that are able to process every aspect of EV production, from raw materials to finished vehicles.
If you look at it from the overall picture, Morocco’s approach is particularly remarkable, since the country builds up an end-to-end ecosystem, a distinction that could have far-reaching economic and ecological effects.
The secret of the strategic advantage of the North African country? His natural resources, especially his phosphate and cobalt, the are crucial Components in battery production.
Building on these resources and the development of manufacturing functions for each battery component – from anodes to electrolytes – Morocco intends to establish an integrated supply chain in the corner, which could triple its exports until early 2030.
Morocco’s sustainable views, from manufacturing to mobility
However, the sustainable ambitions of sustainable mobility go far beyond production. A revolutionary transformation Is in progress In the country’s public transport system with plans to procure 7,000 electric buses.
This initiative, which aptly summarizes with the FIFA World Cup 2030, reflects the country’s drive to implement practical, sustainable mobility solutions.
Morocco has already made progress in such pioneering initiatives.
The Casablanca Tramway system has become a model for a sustainable urban transit on the African continent.
Have transported Over 357 million passengers in the past decade, the system proves that clean public transport can be both efficient and popular.
The influence of the tram goes beyond mobility. The environmentally friendly transport system has manifested itself in a catalyst for the urban green regeneration in Casablanca. Morocco has planted over 2,200 trees in the past 10 years, which has proven to be proven on the ground.
In the meantime, the rail sector in Morocco is just as ambitious. The National Railways Office (oncf) has announced An essential investment plan of almost $ 939 million for 2025-2027, which focuses on modernizing the infrastructure and the new takeover of rolling shares.
This investment, coupled With plans for the expansion of high-speed rail services and for the establishment of regional express networks in important metropolises, the commitment Morocco shows for comprehensive transport solutions.
The numbers tell a convincing story. Oncf’s high -speed trains from ONCF carried 5.2 million passengers in 2023, an increase of 25% compared to the previous year. The overall winner of the Railway achieved 53 million passengers, with the projections further growing.
These numbers not only reflect the statistical success, but also a fundamental change in the view and use of public transport of the Moroccans – and with the Green Railway technologies from OnCF they can be continued with solid climate knowledge.
According to a recent announcement by the railway company, almost all trains in Morocco will be in operation.
2018 oncf launched Al Boraq as the first full electrical high-speed rail system in Africa, which is refrained from carbon-intensive carbon alternatives and promotes more environmentally friendly rail traffic.
The time of these initiatives is crucial. Since the world run to achieve climate goals and African cities, the model in Morocco could offer a blueprint for sustainable development on the entire continent.
Challenges of climate change
Morocco’s approach to the green and sustainable transport comes at a time when the international community is looking for the goals of climate change, since the countdown clock of irreversible damage continues to tick.
The vision emphatically reflects that ecological sustainability and economic growth mutually exclude each other, but fundamentally intensify each other.
When temperatures and tensions heat up, Morocco is determined to position themselves as the main actor in the fight against global warming and climate change in connection with climate change.
While the country’s innovative innovative sustainable mobility initiatives change domestic transport, they at the same time put a strong example of how countries can bring development goals with the climate obligations in the context of the Paris Agreement and the sustainable development goals of the UN (SDGS).
The commitment of Morocco for Klimaperos is not new on the world stage.
The country was one of the first nations too ratify The Paris Agreement and host COP22 in Marrakech and has consistently demonstrated the leadership in climate policy.
The North African country shows an obligation to SDGs, including But not limited to sustainable cities and municipalities (SDG 11), climate protection measures (SDG 13) as well as industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9). Morocco’s revolutionary approach to green and sustainable mobility corresponds to these goals.
Green Impact Expo & Summit 2025
The green successes of Morocco are no secret. The North African country not only shares its specialist knowledge in various continental and global functions, but also organizes gatherings of managers, innovators and like -minded thinkers who also strive to reduce human footprint.
One of the most remarkable recent examples was Casaablanca’s hosting of the first edition of Green Impact Expo & Summit 2025 provided To consolidate an opportunity for Morocco to consolidate its green and sustainable mobility transit situations.
Gies2025 was a platform that made industry leaders, government officials and international experts take over the current challenges of green mobility and to demand the way to a sustainable transport industry.
In the course of the three -day summit, discussions about the most important topics in green mobility and decarbonization of the transport took place.
On the agenda, a strategic meeting in Agora-style meetings for transport decarbonization and a specialized workshop on the transition for the skills for sustainable mobility, which focused on preparing companies and talents for future challenges.
The event not only brought these innovative ideas to the table in sustainable mobility transitions, but also how they should be paid for their implementation.
The discussion participants also covered the logistics of this shift in public transport, including the changes Infrastructure and services in all territories. An outstanding workshop was directed by the Ayvens Automobile Agency, which divided global knowledge about the transition to electromobility and thus provided an extended vision for how to switch to more environmentally friendly transport systems.
Gies2025 Next cemented Morocco’s position as an industrial center and central director of the Green Mobility Transformation Africa, an ambitious initiative to help other African countries on the way to a more sustainable transport system.
Nowadays, many parts of the world continue to turn their eyes from the urgent tasks to combat the harmful effects of climate change and opt for quick solutions for fossil fuels. In this heated climate, Morocco not only stands out as an unlikely leader, but also as an up -and -coming model that faces these challenges head -on.
