In Tunisia, a vehicle owner is facing a paradoxical situation despite government efforts to promote electric and hybrid cars. After purchasing a rechargeable hybrid vehicle with the intention of operating it as a tourist taxi, he alleges he was denied the necessary operating license. The refusal is reportedly due to the vehicle’s hybrid engine, creating an obstacle for environmentally conscious transport options. This incident highlights potential bureaucratic hurdles within Tunisia that undermine incentives for adopting greener technologies. The case raises questions about the practical implementation of policies supporting hybrid and electric vehicles in the country. The story first appeared in Business News.
