Flash Motors has partnered with the Government of Jamaica (GOJ) to trial the use of electric vehicles as part of the country’s transition to sustainable transportation.
The programme will see Flash Motors providing all-electric vehicles and charging infrastructure to participating ministries and private sector organizations. Flash Motors’ Jamaican dealer partner, Stewarts Auto Group, will assist in delivering the programme.
The company has donated two ABB chargers to the Ministry of Transport and Mining and the Planning Institute of Jamaica. Flash Motors’ charging stations are suitable for a range of vehicles, including passenger cars, commercial trucks, and transit buses.
The company’s team will also provide management software and fleet integration services to optimise the performance and cost-effectiveness of electric vehicles.
Flash Motors’ CEO, Xavier Gordon, expressed excitement about supplying the Jamaican government with ABB’s world-class charging infrastructure.
“The GOJ is serious about its integration of electric vehicles into the public fleet. We have seen this in their recent procurement efforts for vehicle and transit fleets. Our team is ecstatic to have the opportunity to supply them with world-class charging infrastructure from ABB,” Gordon said.
The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) is enabling the trial through its support for electric mobility.
