Transport Minister Keith Brown launched the E-Cosse partnership in the Capital yesterday to bring together Transport Scotland with car manufacturers, power companies, local authorities and WWF Scotland.
Speaking at the E-Vent Conference on electric cars, Mr Brown revealed that the partnership will help lead to the government vision of almost complete decarbonisation of road transport by 2050.
He said: “This partnership will help us develop a shared vision and set future priorities to promote the uptake of electric vehicles.
“Electric cars reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality and cut noise pollution.”
