Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to commission electric buses this Wednesday.

Ghana is making a significant move towards sustainable transportation with the introduction of electric buses. Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is set to commission these buses on November 27, 2024, at Adenta, Accra. This initiative is part of the government's efforts to reduce Ghana's carbon footprint and promote sustainable development .

The electric buses have been designed with improved accessibility features, making them more inclusive for people with mobility challenges. They're also expected to reduce transportation costs by up to 40-50%, making public transport more affordable and efficient for Ghanaians.

Ghana aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 15% by 2030, as part of its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC). The introduction of electric buses is a significant step towards achieving this goal .

With this move, Ghana is poised to become a leader in sustainable transportation in West Africa. The government plans to purchase 100 electric buses by the end of 2024, marking a major milestone in Ghana's transportation sector .
