Ifrane Set to Launch Ambitious Project to Transition Public Transport to Electric Vehicles

Ifrane is preparing to launch an ambitious and unprecedented project to transform its public transportation system into an eco-friendly electric fleet, under a sustainable developmental vision spearheaded by the regional governor, Idriss Mesbah, in full coordination with the Wali of the Fes-Meknes region, Mohaeddine El Jamai. This project aims to replace traditional fuel-powered taxis and buses with fully electric vehicles, making Ifrane the first Moroccan city to implement a 100% clean public transportation system.

This transition is part of a broader strategy to protect the environment and reduce the city’s carbon footprint. The adoption of electric vehicles will help lower carbon dioxide emissions, improve air quality, and reduce noise pollution in a city known for its unique environmental beauty. The project is also expected to have a direct economic impact by reducing operating and maintenance costs for transportation professionals, as well as providing a modern and safe transportation experience for both residents and visitors.

The regional authorities, under the leadership of the Ifrane governor, are working to ensure the success of this project by securing the necessary funding and providing government and technical support to transportation professionals. This support will enable them to purchase electric vehicles at subsidized prices, in addition to developing the necessary infrastructure by establishing charging stations throughout the city. The initiative is expected to enhance Ifrane’s appeal as an eco-tourism destination, aligning with its ranking as one of the cleanest cities globally.

This initiative is set to serve as a model that can be replicated in other Moroccan cities, especially those aiming to improve public transport services and enhance environmental sustainability. Amidst this significant transformation, Ifrane continues its journey towards revolutionizing urban transportation, positioning itself as a leader in environmental innovation at both the national and international levels.
