EPD invites suppliers to submit proposals for fast charging facilities for electric public light buses and paid charging service at public transport interchange in Kwun Tong Town Centre
******************************************************************************************
"The Urban Renewal Authority has reserved space in the PTI for the installation of fast charging facilities and the associated power supply. The proposers are required to submit their proposals by April 22, 2021. The successful proposer shall install e-PLB fast charging facilities, including fast pantograph chargers and backup plug-in fast chargers, at designated locations and provide a paid charging service for e-PLBs as soon as possible. To help interested suppliers to understand the content of the open invitation and the site conditions of the reserved space for installing fast charging facilities, we will hold a briefing session on April 8 and a site visit on April 9 respectively," a spokesman for the EPD said.
"Commercial vehicles are a major source of roadside air pollution in Hong Kong. Electric vehicles (EVs) have no tailpipe emissions. Promoting the popularisation of EVs not only improves roadside air quality, but it is also our key measure to drive for carbon neutrality," the spokesman added.
Detailed information and invitation documents can be found and downloaded from the EPD website (www.epd.gov.hk/epd/english/business_job/business_opp/eoi.html). For enquiries, call the EPD at 2594 6078.
