Sindh government is moving forward with plans to introduce electric taxis in the province, aiming to modernize public transport and reduce pollution.
Senior minister Sharjeel Inam Memon recently met with officials from Chinese automaker GAC and Dewan Motors to discuss the launch of an eco-friendly taxi service. The meeting was attended by key figures, including Sindh Transport Secretary Asad Zaman, Dewan Yousuf Farooqui, and GAC representatives.
GAC’s General Manager Zhu Song provided insights into the benefits and technical aspects of electric vehicles, while different models for introducing the taxis were explored. Minister Memon assured the participants of the Sindh government’s full support, pledging to provide necessary infrastructure like charging stations and simplify regulatory procedures.
He emphasized that electric taxis would offer modern and safe transportation, while also reducing carbon emissions. In addition, Memon announced plans to introduce a “pink taxi” service specifically for women passengers, ensuring their safety and convenience.
The electric taxi initiative is expected to create job opportunities and promote cleaner, more sustainable travel options in Sindh. The government anticipates a swift rollout of the service.
