Africa has the lowest motorization rate in the world (an average of around 43 to 73 vehicles per 1,000 people), yet the transport sector already accounts for 30% of the continent’s GHG emissions, largely due to an aging and imported second-hand fleet.

With the African vehicle fleet expected to grow 4 to 5 times by 2050, the stakes are high: road safety, environmental impact, and access to clean, affordable mobility.

How can vehicle end-of-life policies and transcontinental standards help Africa leapfrog towards a safer and more sustainable mobility future? How can Europe, Asia, and Africa align to ensure that vehicles entering African markets meet common safety, production, and emissions standards – while integrating recycling, maintenance, and fuel quality requirements?
