Coco electric city is a project that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the city of Bangkok, Thailand. The project was launched in 2010 by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and the World Bank. It is one of the first large-scale projects in the world to use electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce emissions from the transportation sector.
The project has two main components:
1. A fleet of electric vehicles for use by BMA staff and officials
2. A network of charging stations across the city
The electric vehicles are used for a variety of tasks including waste collection, street cleaning, and water delivery. They are also available for use by members of the public.
The charging stations are located in convenient locations such as shopping malls, office buildings, and public parks. They are designed to be user-friendly and allow for easy charging of the electric vehicles.
The project has been successful in reducing emissions from the transportation sector in Bangkok. It has also helped to raise awareness about the benefits of electric vehicles and the potential for reducing emissions from the transportation sector.
