Fawad Chaudhry announces to introduce electronic motorcycles, rickshaws across country

August 31, 2019

The government is planning to introduce electronic motorcycles and rickshaws across the country.

This was stated by Minister for Science and Technology Chaudhry Fawad Hussain during his visit to Pakistan Council of Renewable Energy Technologies in Islamabad today.

Chaudhry Fawad said Pakistan is among those countries which are using highest number of motorcycles.

He said Electronic motorcycles and rickshaws are the future of the country’s transportation system and soon these will be converted to electronic technology.

The Minister said the addition of electronic technology in the country would help decrease carbon from the environment.

Pollution = poison.
Electric vehicles should be produced in the thousands. It's beneficial for the environment and cuts down on petrol imports.

Great first step, but we need to consider infrastructure for charging and green sources of electricity.

Yes but if the electricity produced is by furnace oil then it beats the point. Infact that would cause more harm as long transmission loses are added. We first need to make our electricity production carbon free or atleast majority of it.

Now days Pakistan barely produce any electricity from furnace oil.

Pakistan uses furnace oil, gas, coal, hydel, nuclear.. hydel and nuclear are carbon free and they are only 29℅. Majority produced from hydrocarbons. solar is around 2℅.
