Progress on EV public transport blueprint
The Transport Ministry has reportedly asked the Office of Transport and Public Policy and Planning to study the plan to promote electric vehicles in public transport.
The plan will pilot the use of electric public buses in six provinces – Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Nakhon Ratchasima, Ayutthaya, Chonburi and Phuket.
Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob said he had received the EV subcommittee’s findings from its study of Thailand’s transition from fuel-based vehicles to EVs.
He added that it is expected to take 15 years to fully achieve the transition.
