The Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Mr. Alexis Vafeadis made statements today at the Presidential Palace regarding the decisions of the Council of Ministers as follows:

"At today's meeting of the Council of Ministers regarding the purchase of vehicles for use by state officials, I have recommended and the Council of Ministers has approved the cancellation of the previous tender for the purchase of 32 plus three, optional, hybrid vehicles because the needs and specifications of the state have changed.

For the new specifications, the following standard will be followed for the purchase of 29 pure electric vehicles plus three hybrid, plug-in hybrid, vehicles, plus one pure electric vehicle, plus two more hybrids as an option.

The purpose of this specification change is to provide the state with pure electric vehicles that will be zero emission and thus align with the state's intentions for the green transition and at the same time the specification will reference vehicles used by the general public.

We estimate that there will be an additional reduction in the purchase cost of these vehicles, and the maintenance of electric vehicles is estimated to be almost zero."
