The Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) has urged food delivery companies such as Food Panda and NHAM24 to switch to electric motorbikes instead of fuel-powered motorbikes as part of the government’s sustainable transport policy.

The remark was made by MPWT Minister HE Sun Chanthol during the meeting with UNDP Cambodia Country Director Alissar Chaker on 2 February.

The meeting aims to further strengthen cooperation between Cambodia and UNDP in expanding the infrastructure and use of electric vehicles (EVs) in Cambodia.

HE Sun Chanthol said the request to food delivery companies to examine the feasibility of using electric motorcycles is part of the cooperation and implementation of the sustainable transport policy.

The minister added that UNDP has always supported Cambodia on its sustainable transportation policy, for instance, the installation of five EV charging stations nationwide.
