E-Mobility and Infrastructure with Emphasis on Use in a Port Environment

Why Attend

The transition to electric mobility (e-mobility) is reshaping the global transport and logistics landscape, especially in high-impact zones like ports. Ports serve as critical nodes for freight movement, and their electrification is a pivotal step toward achieving decarbonization, energy efficiency, and sustainability goals. This specialized training program, designed by Commonwealth Training and Consulting Africa, focuses on the deployment, integration, and optimization of e-mobility infrastructure within port environments.
