Evolución Reciente y Situación Actual de la Producción y Difusión de Vehículos Eléctricos a Nivel Global y en Latinoamérica.

Encouraged by regulations that seek to mitigate the emission of greenhouse gases, the automotive industry has started an incipient transition to electromobility; so far, this transition has been limited to some of the Western developed countries, as well as Japan, South Korea and China. This transition generates important changes in the technological capabilities and natural resources needed for the development and production of vehicles, and opens a scenario of potential repositioning for firms and countries. In this context, the production of electric vehicles and their regulations are lagging behind in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina - the leading automotive producers in Latin America. However, they have some advantages that could be exploited to reposition themselves in automotive value chains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
