KARACHI: Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has announced the launch of EV taxis and Pink EV taxis by the Sindh Department of Transport, marking the first time these services will be introduced in Pakistan.

This initiative by the Sindh Government’s Transport Department aims to provide a modern and eco-friendly transportation option for the public.

The introduction of EV taxis and pink EV taxis marks a significant step towards sustainable transportation in Pakistan.
