EV100 and EV100+ bring together international companies committed to drive the transition to electric vehicles. They set the example by pledging to switch to EVs in their own operations by 2030 for light-duty vehicles (cars, vans, etc.) or 2040 for heavy duty vehicles (trucks) and come together as a public voice to advocate for ambitious EV policy setting and market acceleration.
The campaigns give public recognition to their efforts and provide a global platform of peers to support their progress. Activities include public profiling of members leadership, knowledge generation and international best practice sharing as well as joint engagement with policy and market contexts to advance the electromobility agenda.
The Membership Manager will work in close coordination with other team members across our international offices to drive the continued growth of our campaign membership, as well as develop our capacity to engage member companies in our work to deliver campaign impact.
