A new article from The Express Tribune looks at how Pakistan's ports and logistics operators are shifting to cleaner power. The focus is on high-energy sites like container terminals, where rooftop solar, electric cranes, and e-trucks are starting to replace diesel and grid-dependent equipment. Hutchison Ports Pakistan is highlighted as a working example, with electric remote-controlled quay cranes, hybrid equipment, and an initial batch of 20 electric trucks. The piece also covers smaller wins, like courier fleets in Islamabad and Rawalpindi switching to electric bikes, cutting fuel costs by around 60% and saving over 17 tonnes of carbon. The broader point is that on-site solar and electrified logistics can reduce exposure to grid outages and volatile fuel prices, while giving exporters a cleaner supply chain to show international buyers.
