The Charging Infrastructure Task Force is born, a shared investment model coordinated by Sostenibilidad Global. Its premise: the transition cannot wait for the government to solve it alone.
Mexico City, July 22, 2026.— Grupo Bimbo, Mercado Libre, Coca-Cola FEMSA, Heineken México, OXXO, Alsea, VEMO, Siemens, OXXO Gas, Voltway, Deléctrico, Grupo Marva, International, Volvo, BYD Trucks, ADO Mobility, and other companies make up the Charging Infrastructure Task Force, an initiative born from Sostenibilidad Global’s Electromobility Playground and co-convened by the National Private Transport Association (ANTP), its most strategic sector partner.
Its objective: to design and implement, from the business sector, a shared investment model for charging infrastructure for medium and heavy-duty vehicles that distributes costs and reduces risk for each organization.
The challenge is one of scale and competitiveness. Freight transport is a pillar of the economy and, at the same time, an environmental challenge: much of the national fleet is over 17 years old, and existing public charging infrastructure was designed mainly for private cars, not heavy-duty transport. No single company can, or should, close that gap alone. The Task Force turns that interdependence into a collective advantage: it aggregates demand, shares data and infrastructure in a precompetitive space, and operates under the neutral coordination of Sostenibilidad Global.
A survey conducted among the participating companies confirms the starting point: together, the fleets identified more than 320 freight vehicles seeking to go electric by 2027 and close to 1,400 by 2035. Ricardo García Coyne, Deputy Director, Emerging Markets at CALSTART and technical lead for the Playground’s survey, summed up the finding: “The survey we developed at CALSTART leaves one clear finding: the technology exists, the demand exists, and there’s a will to invest. The barrier isn’t technological. It’s shared information.”
For Dr. Isabel Studer, President of Sostenibilidad Global, the biggest shift is one of mindset: “The transition to clean energy isn’t going to happen by waiting for the government to solve everything. We need to change that mindset: the private sector must stop waiting and take on a leading role. Companies that coordinate today can take on the role that, in other countries, the State assumed —reducing the pioneer’s risk and distributing the costs— and, in doing so, gain competitiveness in global value chains, improve environmental quality, and generate green jobs.”
This need for shared investment becomes even more evident given the current infrastructure lag, where, as of the first quarter of 2026, Mexico had only one charging station for every 49 electric vehicles (4,802 stations for 235,501 units). For heavy-duty freight transport, the challenge goes beyond total installed capacity and focuses on strategically deploying infrastructure along logistics and highway corridors to ensure uninterrupted intercity travel, a factor essential to securing territorial equity and avoiding bottlenecks in the sector’s electrification.
Studer added that the path forward is also more inclusive: “Meeting decarbonization commitments has stopped being a future environmental issue and has become an economic and immediate one. And there’s something more: clean energy is, by nature, more decentralized; it democratizes access to energy and to the movement of goods, which we all depend on.”
Alex Theissen, President of ANTP, appealed for collaboration: “The World Cup taught us a lesson: the teams that win are the ones that play as a team, not the ones that just gather good players. It’s the same in electromobility. No single company can solve the charging infrastructure on its own. Today, the private sector has decided to join forces and collaborate. And there’s already a clear idea: electrifying the Mexico City–Querétaro corridor.”
A shared investment model
The model adapts to Mexico a logic already proven in countries such as the United States, Colombia, and Brazil, based on demand aggregation, collaboration among companies, the involvement of multiple stakeholders, and neutral coordination.
One of the first technical analyses the group will tackle jointly is the availability of electricity at the sites where charging hubs will be installed, a factor that determines where and when electrification is viable.
From an international perspective, Killian Dorier, Senior International Programme Manager, Transport at The Climate Group, underscored the model’s value: “The Infrastructure Task Force serves as an example of what can be achieved with a coalition of companies committed to a zero-emissions future —an innovative model that can serve as a roadmap toward a positive future, both environmentally and economically.”
This first phase gave rise to a shared area of work: the Mexico City–Querétaro corridor. Starting from there, the group will identify strategic points for deploying charging infrastructure —both last-mile and long-haul— and will outline a first joint shared-investment project.
About Sostenibilidad Global and the Electromobility Playground
Sostenibilidad Global is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building multisectoral alliances to accelerate a just energy transition and sustainable mobility. We build bridges where others see barriers, and we design viable paths so that sustainability becomes a shared reality.
The Electromobility Playground is built around four partners —Sostenibilidad Global, ANTP, CALSTART, and The Climate Group— each with a complementary role. As co-convener, ANTP brings the project’s sector strength: it is the leading organization representing freight-transport and logistics user companies in Mexico. Founded in 1995, it brings together 159 leading companies from various productive sectors —a significant share of the freight moved within the country— making it one of the most influential voices in the modernization of national transport.
On the international front, The Climate Group connects the group with a network of companies committed to electrifying their fleets (EV100), while CALSTART provides technical support —including the diagnostic survey applied to the Playground’s companies— through its Drive to Zero initiative and the Global MOU, the international agreement to decarbonize heavy-duty transport that Mexico signed during COP30 (Belém, Brazil, November 2025).
