NAIROBI, May 4 (Xinhua) An official with the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) on Tuesday urged the East African countries to embark on developing legislation in readiness for the adoption of electric mobility.
Judith Owigar, consultant of smart cities and electric mobility at UN-Habitat said that laws should be enacted to guide the adoption and local assembling of electric vehicles and motorcycles. Adoption of electric mobility is capable to contribute to improving air quality and reducing climate emissions, Owigar said during a virtual meeting on electric mobility in East Africa held in Nairobi.
