Course Overview
This course is designed to equip participants with critical knowledge and practical skills in emissions
monitoring, reduction strategies, and transitioning to e-mobility solutions. Tailored for regulatory and
transport safety bodies such as NTSA, the program explores the current environmental impact of
conventional transportation systems, policy and regulatory frameworks on emissions, and how
organizations can champion or support the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into national transport
ecosystems. Through a blend of expert-led sessions and practical case discussions, participants will gain
insights into emissions analytics, e-mobility infrastructure planning, policy enforcement, and
sustainable transport innovation.

Duration 5 days
