This research discusses the main successful international public policies aimed at expanding the fleet of electric vehicles for road freight transport and how these policies could be adapted to the Brazilian business model. Analysis of the main public policies in foreign markets that resulted in tax incentives, expansion of the existing infrastructure and promotion of new businesses in the transition from the fle et of conventional vehicles to electric vehicles, in addition to a study on the possible adaptations that the Brazilia n legislation allows for these policies can be adapted to the national market are the main challenges for the sector. Society is increasin gly demanding in terms of sustainability and, in addition, public administrators have the challenge of promoting sustainable mobility, capable of providing quality of life to the population and ensuring that the systems of distribution of urban goods effic iently me et the needs of the population in the cities. However, although electrification appears as the main alternative to improve energy efficiency and reduce the emission of atmospheric pollutants and greenhouse gases, many countries have not yet implem ented public policies to streamline the transition of their respective fleets. The results of the research may contribute to future studies on the adequacy of successful public policies and possible adaptations to the Brazilian business model in the road f reight transport sector with a focus on sustainable urban mobility.
