After inaugurating the public EV transport service, now Sajha is converting fuel vehicles into electric vehicles. The company has decided to forward its environment-friendly initiative in multiple phases. For the first phase step, one of its own fuel vehicles will be transformed into an EV.
The plan is part of Sajha’s E-Conversion or ‘ICE Engine to Electric Drive Conversion Project’.
The conversion involves an ICE engine, gearbox, and fuel tank being replaced with electric motors, and a battery pack.
Sajha says it will start converting other fuel-based vehicles into electric ones after its vehicle is successfully converted.
