Program: ERASMUS-EDU-2022-CBHE-STRAND-2 Project number: 101082860 Key issues related to EM in EU and WBC- Albania case Until 31.12.2022, the automobile fleet in Albania has a total of 6,693 vehicles that are partially or completely powered by electricity The most prominent case to be discussed in terms of current situation of electric mobility is the capital city of Albania, Tirana. The first taxi service with electric vehicles was introduced in Tirana in 2016. Currently (2021), at least 6 different large private taxi companies operate with 100% electric vehicles with about 121 licensed electrical taxis The public taxi service in Tirana deserves all the praise for being a pioneer in electric transport Partnership for Promotion and Popularization of Electrical Mobility through Transformation and Modernization of WB HEIs Study Programs / PELMOB
Program: ERASMUS-EDU-2022-CBHE-STRAND-2 Project number: 101082860 Key issues related to EM in EU and WBC- Albania case The Municipality of Tirana has started in August 2021 the operation with a fleet of hybrid electric buses in the large annular line of Tirana of 13.2 km with 66 stations. Other cases similar we can mention the project from UNIDO, still under development, targeting the cities of Belsh and Berat, aiming to increase the overall infrastructure for electric mobility for sustainable tourism in Albania, however the project is still under its feasibility phase.

Program: ERASMUS-EDU-2022-CBHE-STRAND-2 Project number: 101082860 Key issues related to EM in EU and WBC- Albania case There is no accurate data on the total number or per category of chargers in the territory of Albania In Tirana we have three normal charging points located in public parking lots of the Municipality of Tirana. Meanwhile private taxi operators have installed 15 charging points Normal and Fast Charger for their own electric vehicles in 2021. Moreover, charging points for electric vehicles in Tirana have been installed by the State (Municipal) Police for its electric vehicles, as well as some public and private companies that use them exclusively for their own electric vehicles.

Program: ERASMUS-EDU-2022-CBHE-STRAND-2 Project number: 101082860 Key issues related to EM in EU and WBC- Albania case According to official data from the General Directorate of Road Transport Services, until March 2022, only 2,588 electric cars result as registered in Albania. This figure also includes hybrids vehicle, or in other words combined with diesel or gasoline. While, in relation to the total number of 752,970 active vehicles in the country, these vehicles constitute only 0.35% of the total amount. The decision to reimburse the registration fees for the first time for electric vehicles was taken by the General Directorate in November 2019. This includes the fees currently paid for physical control, driving license, standard license plates, and certificate of ownership, with a total value of Lek 7,500.

Program: ERASMUS-EDU-2022-CBHE-STRAND-2 Project number: 101082860 Key issues related to EM in EU and WBC- Albania case There is still no national plan, nor a national strategic document on the development and strengthening of electric transport in Albania. Obviously, these deficiencies are reflected in the current status of development and spread of electric transport in Albania. To monitor progress in implementing policies for a green recovery in Albania, the OECD suggests a set of key indicators, including values for Albania and benchmark countries (either the OECD or EU average, based on data availability; data from Croatia are the benchmark for the number of renewable self-consumers per 100 000 population).

Program: ERASMUS-EDU-2022-CBHE-STRAND-2 Project number: 101082860 Key issues related to EM in EU and WBC- Albania case Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2014 on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure Text with EEA relevance DCM No. 633, dated 26.10.2018 on the Measures against the air pollution that come from the discharges of motor vehicles and reduction of air disposal of pollutants from vehicles with compression ignition engines set up a new standard in the motor vehicles emissions and discharges. Mobility Plan for Tirana a particular hotspot of traffic congestion and air pollution was completed in July 2020 and has a vision for mobility in of the city to 2030. Albania also has a National Transport Plan, the second review of which was adopted in January 2020 Partnership for Promotion and Popularization of Electrical Mobility through Transformation and Modernization of WB HEIs Study Programs / PELMOB
Program: ERASMUS-EDU-2022-CBHE-STRAND-2 Project number: 101082860 Key issues related to EM in EU and WBC- Albania case The National Energy Strategy (2018-2030) is the only document addressing the measures and policies related to EVs. Currently there is insufficient policy, regulations and incentive mechanisms to encourage the use electric vehicles or support investment in e-mobility infrastructure The Strategy gives the aim to increase share of electrical vehicles in the passenger cars fleet up to 10% of passenger km in 2030 Partnership for Promotion and Popularization of Electrical Mobility through Transformation and Modernization of WB HEIs Study Programs / PELMOB
