    Electric Mobility and Sustainable Transport

    Global car sales dropped as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded worldwide.

Battery powered electric vehicles are also gaining popularity across Asia. In fact, China, Japan and South Korea are leading the pack in electric mobility worldwide. The big question is, what are the drivers to Asia's adoption of electric vehicles? This is what we're going to talk about in today's episode of Clean Air Asia's podcast "On Air."

In this episode of Clean Air Asia's podcast "On Air," we're speaking to five experts on the pathways to sustainable energy transition in Asia.
