The government of Punjab is set to launch 86 electric buses in the first phase of its ambitious eco-friendly transport plan. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to reduce the province’s carbon footprint and transition towards greener, more sustainable public transportation options.
The electric buses will be deployed across key cities, providing residents with an alternative to traditional fuel-powered vehicles, which contribute significantly to pollution. The project is expected to improve air quality, decrease traffic congestion, and provide an affordable and efficient mode of travel.
Officials say that this move will not only reduce reliance on fossil fuels but also align with global efforts to combat climate change by promoting the use of renewable energy. Punjab’s government has already begun the process of selecting bus routes and finalizing partnerships with electric vehicle manufacturers to ensure the timely roll-out of the program.
In the coming months, the provincial government plans to expand the network of electric buses, aiming to add hundreds more to the fleet, further enhancing the accessibility and reach of sustainable transport options across Punjab.envis
