We are supporting green transportation development by facilitating our staff members in commuting through EVs, ultimately reducing our carbon footprint. EV Charging Facilities Since 2023, the VTC has supplanted its conventionally-powered council vans at IVE (Tuen Mun) and the VTC Kowloon Bay Complex with EVs. EVs will continue to replace our conventional vehicle fleet as required on a progressive basis.
