In Melaka, five electric motorcycles equipped with sidecars have been deployed to enhance waste collection and public cleaning efforts, supporting the city's ambition to become a Green State by 2035. Mohd Norlisam Mohd Nordin, corporate general manager of SWM Environment Sdn Bhd, stated that these electric vehicles (EVs) are strategically placed at various tourist hotspots in Bandar Hilir to improve cleaning efficiency, particularly in narrow routes and densely populated areas. This green initiative, launched in April, aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote a cleaner environment, especially in sensitive tourism and heritage zones. The introduction of these EVs not only enhances operational efficiency but also minimizes noise pollution and carbon emissions associated with traditional fuel combustion. The initiative reflects SWM Environment's commitment to green technology and aligns with the state government's vision for sustainable urban development. The company plans to monitor the effectiveness of these vehicles and may expand their use to other strategic locations in the future, contributing positively to the local community and tourists alike.
