This year we commemorate the 30th anniversary of ANAC, and our efforts are focused on generating the ecosystem needed for the incorporation of the latest and newest technologies in our country, in alignment with becoming a net-zero country by 2050. For us at ANAC it is highly relevant to have this agreement with an international scope, that will allow us to share mutual experience about the standards we need to incorporate for electrified vehicles in Chile, one of the most competitive markets for the automotive industry, with a vast net of 26 Free Trade Agreements and vehicles coming from more than 28 different origins.
