Sri Lanka to allow electric Tuk-Tuk registration

COLOMBO (News 1st); The Cabinet of Ministers approved the resolution submitted by the Minister of Transport and Highways to take necessary measures to amend the current motor traffic act including the relevant amendments to enable the registration of electric Three Wheeler Vehicles.

Several parties have requested an opportunity to utilize electric three-wheelers to popularize vehicles run with electric power instead of utilizing fossil fuel within Sri Lanka, said a statement from the Department of Government Information.

However, the motor traffic act needs to be amended since NO required provisions are available in the present act, it added.
