The amendment of the Motor Traffic Act to include provisions to enable the registration of electric three-wheelers has been approved by the Cabinet of Ministers.
The government said several parties have requested an opportunity to utilize electric Tuk Tuks in order to popularize vehicles run with electric power instead of utilizing fossil fuels within Sri Lanka.
However, the motor traffic act needs to be amended since no required provisions are available in the present Act.
Accordingly, the Cabinet of Ministers approved the proposal submitted by the Minister of Transport and Highways to take necessary measures to amend the current Motor Traffic Act including the relevant amendments to enable the registration of electric three-wheeled vehicles. (NewsWire)
