Chinese Company launches Diesel-Electric Hybrid Buses in Sindh

Provincial govt. will purchase all the buses manufactured at Yutong Company’s plant – Sharjeel

Karachi, Sindh

Sharjeel Inam Memon, Provincial Minister of Information, Transport, and Mass Transit, said on Wednesday that China’s Yutong Master Company has established its presence in Sindh, and the provincial government will purchase all the buses manufactured at their plant to expand the network of the People’s Bus Service in the region.

During the launch and key handover ceremony at a local hotel, the Information Minister was presented with the key to a diesel-electric hybrid bus by representatives from Yutong Master Bus Company.

Yutong-Company-Bus-Sindh-Courier-2Chinese officials from Yutong Master Company, Nadeem Malik from Master Automobile Company, Gul Hassan from NRTC, Secretary of Transport Saleem Rajput, and other government officials attended the ceremony. The event was organized by Yutong Master Company.

Sharjeel Memon said that Sindh was the first province in Pakistan to introduce an electric bus service, which received global acclaim. Additionally, a pink bus service exclusively for women has been launched.

He stated that the Sindh government is committed to bringing the latest buses to the public bus service nationwide to provide affordable, comfortable, and modern travel facilities to the working class. He noted that the fare for the People’s Bus Service is cheaper than traveling on a motorcycle.

Speaking about the recent incidents of vandalism and arson against the People’s Bus Service, Sharjeel Memon said these acts were a deliberate attempt and conspiracy to deprive the public of their transportation facilities. He assured that those responsible for damaging the buses would be held accountable according to the law.

He remarked that the buses serve the working people and not those residing in luxurious bungalows of Bani Gala.

In response to media questions, Sharjeel Memon criticized the PTI, referring to it as an artificial balloon. “People were injected in it and now they are leaving PTI.”

He said that PTI MNAs and MPAs themselves were involved in the incidents on May 9, and legal action would be taken against the accused individuals.

Minister mentioned a land occupation issue involving the opposition leader of the Sindh Assembly, and stated that the land would be reclaimed and a bus depot for the transport department would be constructed there. He added that additional bus depots would be built as required on suitable land. (PR)
