There has been an increase in the development of the electric vehicle market of the auto industry in the country. This has been boosted by Pakistan’s first-ever Electric Vehicle Policy. Under the said policy, one of the major aims is to transform the public transport sector by injecting electric buses into the system.
There has been a development on this front with the multinational company MVM Energy (PVT) Ltd. that aims to boost economic growth in Pakistan under the CPEC initiatives has inked a Memorandum of Understanding with Yutong, a renowned bus manufacturer.
The agreement will see the introduction of electric buses manufactured by the company in Pakistan.
The project will be officially launched in February 2020.
In the first stage, the MVM-Yutong will initiate a trial run with the long term aim to revolutionize the Pakistani public transport system, keeping in line with PM Imran Khan’s vision of a clean green progressive Pakistan.
In the beginning, the buses will be integrated into the metro systems in the country and later move to intercity transportation.
A very good environment related initiative taken by Imran Khan govt…but here is a question and an advisory
Question….Will the present electric system will be able to support …. i think we should go for the major dams including Kala Bagh dam and many more to produce cheap clean and green electricity production.
Advisory….After the success of Electric transit buses, the govt should make an endeavor to invite companies to locally built 600cc/1000cc small electric cars and 70cc/100cc motorcycles which are major consumers of fuel, thus creating a huge demand for import of petrol/diesel thus creating a huge portion in yearly import bills
nice fantasy.
There has been an increase in the development of the electric vehicle market of the auto industry in the country.
When did that happen????
