Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has added 15 new electric vehicles to its patrol fleet in a major step towards eco-friendly policing. The vehicles, BYD Atto 2 models, were provided under the Prime Minister’s initiative to promote clean energy and reduce pollution in the federal capital.
These modern electric cars are equipped with surveillance cameras, public address systems, and speed monitoring technology. They will help traffic officers patrol the city more efficiently while cutting fuel costs and lowering carbon emissions. An ITP official said the move reflects the department’s commitment to modern and environmentally friendly policing.
The induction of these electric vehicles is part of a broader government effort to shift towards green transport in public services. Officials believe electric vehicles will save money on fuel and support Pakistan’s goals for cleaner air in big cities.
However, some experts noted that with Islamabad’s growing population and traffic, more vehicles and personnel may still be needed for better management.
This initiative shows the government’s focus on sustainable development. The Islamabad Traffic Police expressed hope that these electric vehicles will improve service delivery and set an example for other police departments across the country.
The addition of these zero-emission vehicles marks an important milestone in making urban policing greener and smarter.
