Togo national electric mobility strategy is providing electric vehicles to support public authorities’ environmental protection efforts and reduce emissions linked to official travel.
With support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Ministry of Environment and the Golfe 3 municipality took delivery of electric vehicles in Lomé on Thursday, Jan. 22, 2026.
According to Binta Sanneh, UNDP resident representative in Togo, the integration of these vehicles into the public fleet marks a new step in the national policy to promote greener mobility reduce fuel consumption and help lower energy costs.
On the part of Dimouzou Koffi Aoufoh, secretary general of the Ministry of Environment, the programme is also attracting additional technical and financial partners to support the expansion of the electric vehicle fleet in Togo. “UNDP has chosen to support the government through the acquisition of these vehicles, with the aim of making the country a pilot model for electric mobility.”
The initiative stems from sustained population growth and a steady increase in the vehicle fleet are worsening environmental challenges, particularly air pollution. Meanwhile, the large share of used vehicles, often old and more polluting, also contributes to rising emissions.
In response, Togolese authorities are providing more initiatives across the country to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
