Pakistan has announced a bold plan to convert 30% of its vehicles to electric by 2030. This initiative, spearheaded by Federal Minister Abdul Aleem Khan, is part of the newly approved Electric Vehicle (EV) policy aimed at promoting sustainable transportation and reducing the nation’s carbon footprint.
Minister Khan emphasized that the shift to electric vehicles is a critical step in combating climate change. To support this transition, the government is prioritizing the development of essential EV infrastructure, including charging stations, and launching campaigns to raise public awareness about the advantages of electric mobility.
At the COP29 conference in Baku, Minister Khan underlined Pakistan's dedication to green urban transport and renewable energy projects. One key initiative is the upcoming launch of Karachi’s first fleet of biomethane hybrid buses, which aligns with the country’s goal of reducing environmental impact.
To ensure the success of its green transport projects, the government is advocating for Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). This collaborative approach aims to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles and other eco-friendly transport solutions, leveraging resources from both public and private sectors.
Pakistan's plan to embrace electric vehicles and other green initiatives marks a significant step toward transforming its transportation system. These efforts highlight the country’s commitment to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.
