Mangalore International Airport Procures Two Electric Vehicles: Click to Know More

Mangalore International Airport (MIA) has procured two electric vehicles in its endeavour to become carbon neutral by 2024 and go net zero by 2029. The Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) will be used by the engineering and maintenance and the land-side operations team at the airport for their routine work. The airport has also drawn up a plan to procure either an electric bus or an SUV by the end of this current fiscal.

Work on setting up the charging station is nearly completed. Using the electric vehicles will help the airport reduce its carbon emission and thereby pare the carbon footprint that the facility generates. The switch to electric vehicles is part of larger plan drawn up by the airport to convert all its fossil fuel-driven vehicles to electric vehicles, wherever electric vehicle option is available going forward, by March 2025.
