In Quito, the E-Moviliza logistics pilot is showing how electric mobility can support cleaner transport, better services and safer working conditions. Through the pilot, ReciVeci tested an electric van to collect recyclable glass from different waste generators and see how this kind of technology could work in the daily reality of the recycling chain. For ReciVeci , a women-founded social enterprise working in recycling and circular economy in Ecuador, the pilot was a chance

As part of Women’s Month and in the lead-up to International Women in EV Day , we are sharing the experiences of women working across UEMI. They work in different areas, but their stories show how a path in electric mobility can grow in different ways. From left to right: Shruti Raje, Alexandra Suasnavas and Maryam Elamiri share their experiences of working in electric mobility across different roles and contexts at UEMI.

When people talk about electric mobility, the first things that usually come up are vehicles and charging stations. But in UEMI’s work with cities, we keep seeing the same thing: projects only really take off when people are involved from the start. Because electrifying transport is not just a technical upgrade. It changes how people work, how they move around their cities and whether they feel part of what’s happening. Those details matter. A lot. They often make the differe

In Ecuador, the Courier School has grown into a place where people come to learn, connect and find new possibilities for themselves. What began as a training initiative is now a shared effort led by Grupo Entregas with UTPL, the Ministry of Telecommunications, BID Lab, Sistema B, UNHCR, Rett Foundation, World Vision, MINTEL, ACNUR, Formación Permanente and UEMI. Together, UEMI and the partners support people in vulnerable situations who are looking for a way into the labour

Electric mobility is changing the way cities move. But this transition can only go as far as the people who shape it, and women need to be part of those decisions, of the innovation, and of the everyday work behind it. At UEMI, this belief is what drives We Drive Change , a global initiative that puts women at the centre of cleaner, smarter and more inclusive mobility systems . At its core, We Drive Change starts from something simple: gender equality is not an add-on to mob
