Ministry hands over e-bikes to boost low-carbon transport on La Digue

The Ministry of Environment, Climate, Energy & Natural Resources has handed over eleven electric bicycles to government ministries and agencies on La Digue as part of ongoing efforts to promote sustainable transportation and reduce carbon emissions.

The electric bicycles were recently donated by the Chinese embassy in Seychelles through Ambassador Lin Nan and supplied by Lemi Company.
