Cyprus is taking a bold step towards a sustainable future by introducing 35 electric mini-buses into Limassol's public transportation fleet. These sleek, silent, and efficient buses are manufactured by Kinlong, marking a significant collaboration between Cyprus and Chinese technology.
EMEL, Limassol's public transportation company, is on a mission to redefine urban mobility. According to CEO George Kyriakou, embracing electric vehicles is the perfect way to build a strong brand image while promoting environmental responsibility.
\"It gives credibility to your social role as public transport in the community that if you have 30 passengers in a bus, it means 30 private cars are not being used. Now the bonus is that this bus will have zero emissions and that is social responsibility,\" Kyriakou told CGTN.
As the COP28 summit unfolds in the UAE, global leaders are emphasizing the importance of electrification in reducing emissions and achieving net-zero goals. Cyprus is aligning with this vision, showcasing how cities and communities can lead the charge towards a greener planet.
With these electric buses on the road, Limassol is not only enhancing its public transportation system but also setting an inspiring example for other cities around the world. 🌍💚✨
