ACCRA: The introduction of tax waivers on electric vehicles is set to enhance the adoption of green transportation in the country, according to the Minister of Transport, Mr. Kwaku Ofori Asiamah. Speaking at the 2024 Logistics and Transport Conference and Exhibition in Accra, Asiamah emphasized the government's commitment to modernizing and decarbonizing the transport sector in alignment with global efforts toward a Net-Zero Emission Future. According to Ghana News Agency, the government has announced an eight-year waiver of import duties on electric vehicles designated for public transportation. This policy also extends to semi-knocked down and completely knocked down electric vehicles imported by registered EV assembly companies. Asiamah highlighted the government's intention to "electrify the road transport system," with a particular focus on public transport vehicles, aiming for no new petrol and diesel vehicles to be sold or imported after 2045. The conference, organized by the Chartered Institute of L ogistics and Transport (CILT), served as a platform for experts and stakeholders to discuss logistics, transport, and supply chain operations within the green and circular economy. Key participants included Dr. Daniel McKorley, Chief Teete Owusu-Nortey, Mr. Jan Steenberg, and Mr. Mark Amoamah, among others. Mr. Amoamah emphasized the importance of eco-friendly logistics and supply chain operations in contributing to global sustainability efforts. Chief Owusu-Nortey expressed concerns about the undervaluation of the logistics and transportation sector, despite its role as a major employer. He noted the challenges in attracting new talent to the field and proposed establishing November 3 as the International Day to recognize the industry's contributions, as part of his legacy as CILT International President.
