Minister stresses transition to electric mobility
To support the transition, charging stations are being established across the province.
Punjab Transport and Mass Transit Minister Bilal Akbar Khan has said that the province is rapidly transitioning towards electric mobility, marking a new era of sustainable transportation.
Addressing a seminar on Punjab's Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy, he announced that following the successful introduction of electric buses, the government was now set to launch an e-taxi service to promote eco-friendly transportation.
To support the transition, charging stations are being established across the province.
The minister stressed the need for a well-structured policy that prioritises public interest, encouraging people to shift from petrol and diesel vehicles to electric alternatives.
The initiative would contribute significantly to making Punjab a "green province", he noted.
The minister highlighted that the widespread adoption of EVs would not only lead to fuel savings but also play a crucial role in combating smog and reducing air pollution across Punjab.
