The first environment-friendly taxi for northern areas of Pakistan was launched in line with Prime Minister Imran Khan’s vision for Clean Green Pakistan.
Special Assistant to Prime Minister (SAPM) on Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam unveiled e-Taxi at a ceremony held in Islamabad.
Shifting to e-taxi will cut Pakistan’s oil import by Rs2 billion, Aslam said, adding that the initiative will also provide economic benefits to drivers.
