The TAP-TUMI Investor Brief presents a compelling snapshot of the growing e-bus market in Brazil, Ecuador, and India—regions marked by high public transport demand, ambitious climate policies, and increasing investor interest. With seven early-stage projects across key cities, the briefing highlights diverse financing models (e.g. Gross Cost Contracts, concessional loans, leasing) and outlines how cities are overcoming barriers like high upfront costs and infrastructure gaps. It’s a practical guide for unlocking investment in sustainable urban mobility and scaling climate-smart transport solutions in the Global South.
