The Cyprus Postal Services to be equipped with 210 electric motorcycles, says Transport Minister

The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works and the government in general are drawing up a plan to promote the Postal services, said Transport Minister Yiannis Karousos, adding that by 2025 the postal services will be equipped with 210 electric motorcycles.

 

Speaking at a gathering in Limassol on Thursday on the occasion of World Postal Day, Karousos said that in the recent years, the Post Office in Cyprus has changed and continues to evolve on a daily basis.

 

He said that we are “in the midst of a creative process as regards the postal network, daily contact with citizens and changes that require the Postal Services to adapt to the needs of users and technology.”

 

In addition, Karousos said the Postal Services cannot ignore the fact that they have to contribute in their own way to stop the worsening of climate change and cultivate a culture of sustainable development.

 

He said the budget for the Cyprus Postal Services includes one million euro for the purchase of 210 electric motorcycles for postmen to use. The budget was made available through the Resilience and Recovery Fund.
