Karachi Port has taken a significant step toward sustainable logistics by inducting electric trucks (e-trucks) for port operations at the South Asia Pakistan Terminal (SAPT), managed by Hutchison Ports Pakistan. This eco-friendly initiative makes Karachi Port the first port in Pakistan to deploy electric trucks, setting a new benchmark for environmental responsibility in port operations.
Advancing Green Port Operations
The inclusion of e-trucks demonstrates Karachi Port’s commitment to green initiatives. These trucks will play a vital role in reducing carbon emissions, a significant environmental challenge for large-scale logistics operations.
