Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA) has aquired an electric vehicle that will be used to support the institution’s mandate of environmental protection.
The first of its kind, the car has a charging station installed at the REMA office in Kacyiru.
The acquisition of a Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) aims to demonstrate the potential of low emissions technologies and encourage public and private institutions as well as individuals to transition to electric vehicles.
According to the International Energy Agency, transportation is responsible for 24% of global direct carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fuel combustion.
