RAWALPINDI — Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has inducted BYD electric vehicles into its fleet, marking a step towards cleaner and more efficient traffic management in the federal capital.

The move introduces electric mobility into routine traffic operations, including patrol and monitoring across Islamabad. It also reflects a gradual shift towards reducing reliance on conventional fuel-powered vehicles.

The inclusion of BYD vehicles comes as electric mobility gains traction in Pakistan, with both private and public sectors exploring cost-effective and environmentally sustainable transport options.

Shift towards electric mobility

Electric vehicles offer lower running costs and reduced emissions compared to traditional vehicles, making them increasingly relevant for urban operations. Their use in traffic policing aligns with broader efforts to modernise city services.

The development also highlights the growing presence of international EV manufacturers in Pakistan, alongside expanding infrastructure and consumer interest.
