As per the Minister, the electric buses will begin its operation this year in the Islamabad and Lahore. Last week, a signing event of the Strategic Alliance Agreement between Daewoo Pakistan and Skywell took place. Both companies committed to collaborating to introduce electric buses and electric vehicles in the country and create a technical support base in Pakistan.

While explaining the partnership, the Minister said that the value chain for electric vehicles will soon be set up in the country, while the battery bus service is starting soon as well. According to him, as 5G services become functional in Pakistan, various sectors will no longer be needed.
