Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) has introduced 6 new fuel-free electric buses to its Raajje’ Transport Link bus fleet.
The new additions are compact in size, each with a capacity of eleven passengers. These vehicles are also designed with wheelchair access.
MTCC stated that the buses adhere to President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih’s plan to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in the Maldives by 2023.
According to the corporation, the vehicles will not only cut emissions of hazardous gases, but will also contribute to efforts to enhance customer service.
Currently, 12 fuel buses are used for the Male’ City minibus service, each of which accommodates 20 passengers. With the addition of the 6 new electric buses, the Male’ bus service will have a total of 18 vehicles in its fleet. Nevertheless, it is unclear when these new buses will be put into operation.
