Cyprus is turning heads with its latest move towards a greener future! 🌿🚀 Limassol's public transportation company, EMEL, has just welcomed 35 shiny new electric mini-buses to its fleet. These aren't just any buses—they're small, silent, efficient, and eco-friendly, all the way from Chinese manufacturer Kinlong. 🔋🇨🇳
\"There's no better way to build a brand image than by going electric,\" says George Kyriakou, the enthusiastic CEO of EMEL. He shared with us: \"It gives credibility to your social role as public transport in the community. If you have 30 passengers in a bus, it means 30 private cars are not being used. Now the bonus is that this bus will have zero emissions, and that is social responsibility.\" 🌍💚
This exciting development comes at a time when the world is watching the COP28 summit in the UAE. Leaders globally are making big decisions to reduce emissions and speed up the journey to net zero. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is among those highlighting the need for communities and cities to embrace electrification. 🔌🌐
With these new electric mini-buses zipping around Limassol, Cyprus is not just talking the talk but walking the walk—or should we say, driving the drive? 😉 It's a move that not only reduces carbon footprints but also sets a glowing example for other cities eyeing sustainable solutions. ✨
