- Preliminary cooperation deal reached between Pakistan’s Road Kind, China’s AGAO Solar Mobility
- Pakistan has set ambitious goal of running 30 percent of its vehicles on electricity by 2030
ISLAMABAD: Road King, a leading electric scooter brand in Pakistan, and AGAO Solar Mobility, a China-based startup specializing in solar-powered scooters, have reached a preliminary agreement to introduce eco-friendly solar e-bikes in Pakistan, APP reported on Monday.
Solar scooters are equipped with solar panels that convert solar energy into electrical energy for storage and are used to drive the scooter’s electric motor. They are best for short-distance travel and produce zero carbon emissions.
“The Chinese company expressed its willingness to provide Road King with technical support, product optimization, and marketing assistance for solar e-bikes,” APP reported on a meeting between executives of the two companies. “The goal is to jointly create high-quality transportation products that meet local market needs.”
“We will actively promote cooperation with the Chinese side and introduce solar e-bikes to the Pakistani market, stated the delegation from Road King,” APP said, quoting the Chinese firm, which said the environmental friendliness and high-efficiency performance of solar e-bikes “perfectly” aligned with Pakistan’s current demand for green transportation.
Pakistan has set an ambitious target to generate 60 percent of its energy from clean and renewable energy sources by 2030. The goal is part of a broader strategy to transition toward sustainable energy, which includes a significant push for solar and wind power development.
Additionally, Pakistan plans to have 30 percent of its vehicles running on electricity by 2030, aligning with global environmental targets and efforts to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
