Punjab’s Transport Minister, Ibrahim Hassan Murad, announced a substantial push towards electric vehicles (EVs) to combat environmental pollution.

Over 50 charging stations are set to be established across the province, reflecting a commitment to the adoption of sustainable transportation. The Chief Minister has already issued the first E-Rickshaw license, signaling a historic move towards electric mobility.

Minister Murad highlighted the government’s initiative to distribute over 10,000 electric bikes to graduate university students, with an additional 2,000 electric three-wheeler bikes to be provided to special individuals without interest.

This strategic approach aims to position Punjab as a manufacturing hub for electric vehicles, batteries, and components, with a particular focus on the burgeoning electric three-wheeler market.

The Minister emphasized the positive impact of EV adoption, not only on the economy but also in achieving the country’s target of net-zero emissions.

Pakistan’s electric vehicle market is gaining momentum and is poised for significant growth in the coming years.

Minister Murad underscored the importance of high-quality electric rickshaws in combating pollution.

Additionally, he highlighted the ‘Green Wheels’ initiative, showcasing a noteworthy shift in government procurement practices towards environmentally friendly options.

This multifaceted approach addresses both public accessibility to electric vehicles and the government’s commitment to sustainability.
