- PCNGI unveils electric buses to transform Nigeria’s public transport with cleaner, sustainable mobility.
- Program Director Engr. Michael Oluwagbemi inspects the new EV buses, aligning with PCNGI’s vision for reduced carbon emissions and green transport.
- Introducing these buses supports Nigeria’s shift towards a low-carbon economy and enhances the nation’s climate goals.
The Presidential CNG Initiative (PCNGI) has introduced a fleet of electric buses, significantly transforming Nigeria’s public transport system. This move pushes the nation’s drive for cleaner and more sustainable mobility solutions.
During the unveiling, PCNGI Program Director Engr. Michael Oluwagbemi and key stakeholders inspected the new electric vehicles (EVs). These buses will revolutionise public transport in the capital city, providing a greener alternative to traditional cars.
PCNGI announced this on its official X-handle early Thursday, January 30. “PCNGI takes another major step in transforming Nigeria’s transportation landscape,” the statement said. “Engr. Michael Oluwagbemi inspected the new EV buses, designed to align with our vision for a sustainable energy and mobility future in Nigeria.”
The EV buses advance PCNGI’s long-term strategy to reduce carbon emissions and promote clean energy in Nigeria. By introducing these buses, PCNGI shifts Nigeria’s public transport away from fossil fuels, contributing to the global effort to fight climate change.
These buses improve efficiency and reduce pollution, moving Nigeria closer to its climate goals and a cleaner, more sustainable future. Each EV bus uses advanced technology to offer a smooth, environmentally friendly transport option. PCNGI’s decision to introduce these buses follows the federal government’s investment of over $450 million in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) technology, reinforcing Nigeria’s commitment to green transportation.
Engr. Oluwagbemi highlighted the innovation these buses bring to Nigeria’s public transport. “These EV buses mark a huge step in modernising our transport systems,” he said. “They will cut emissions, improve air quality, and provide reliable, efficient transportation.”
PCNGI works with relevant authorities to ensure a smooth rollout of these buses across key urban areas, starting with the capital city. This move sets the foundation for future transport initiatives in the country and offers a nationwide model for cleaner public transport.
The unveiling of the EV buses reflects PCNGI’s broader goal of integrating sustainability into Nigeria’s energy and transportation sectors. PCNGI supports the country’s shift toward a low-carbon economy by reducing reliance on petrol-powered vehicles.
With the adoption of electric mobility, Nigeria takes crucial steps toward meeting its environmental commitments while improving the quality of life for its citizens. PCNGI is pivotal in this transition, driving Nigeria’s energy transformation and sustainable development efforts.
As these EV buses hit the streets, they will reshape public transportation and reduce the nation’s carbon footprint. PCNGI’s bold efforts help Nigeria build a greener, more sustainable future for its transportation systems.
