TIRANA, March 30 – The country’s fleet of electric vehicles continues to grow rapidly, signaling a stronger shift toward sustainable and environmentally friendly transport.

According to the General Directorate of Road Transport Services, DPSHTRR, 1,712 all-electric vehicles were registered for the first time during January–February 2026. This marks a 151 percent increase compared with the same period in 2025.

Officials say the trend reflects growing awareness among citizens and institutions of the benefits of electric vehicles. These include lower air pollution, reduced carbon emissions, and lower maintenance costs.

The increase in “green” vehicles is an important step toward a cleaner, more efficient, and sustainable transport system. Authorities highlight that this aligns with environmental targets and national green development policies.
