Sindh govt to phase out traditional vehicles for EVs over time
A cabinet committee chaired by Sharjeel Inam Memon said future purchases for departments such as the Home Department will favour EVs, with the aim of cutting fuel costs.
The Sindh government will gradually replace conventional vehicles used in government departments with electric vehicles (EVs).
A meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Austerity, chaired by Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon, took the decision in Karachi on Friday.
EVs will be given preference in all future vehicle purchases, and new vehicles were approved for the Home Department, Anti-Corruption Establishment, and Universities and Boards Department.
The stated aims are lower fuel costs, lower day-to-day running expenses and less pollution from government fleets.
