How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Replaces/avoids GHGs (e.g., projects that replace sources of GHGs, such as the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, transport, or other energy uses)', 'Reduces GHGs (e.g., projects that reduce sources of GHGs, such as through efficiency or other changes in consumption)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Palki Motors empowers climate-vulnerable communities, particularly low-income commercial drivers in Bangladesh, by enabling access to affordable electric vehicles (EVs). Many of these drivers, who often come from marginalized backgrounds, are trapped in exploitative rental systems and rising fossil fuel costs. By providing financing options for EV ownership, we uplift these individuals economically while reducing their carbon footprint.

Our EVs also create a ripple effect, benefiting passengers with cost-effective, cleaner transportation and fostering environmental awareness in communities that are typically overlooked in the climate movement.

Within our organization, we prioritize inclusivity and equal opportunity. Palki Motors maintains a gender-sensitive work environment, reflected in our hiring practices and gender sensitivity training for staff. Our workforce includes youth and individuals from diverse backgrounds, ensuring the representation of underprivileged groups in decision-making processes.

Moreover, by localizing manufacturing and sourcing, we create jobs in underserved regions, contributing to socio-economic development. Our efforts align with climate justice by addressing both environmental and economic disparities, ensuring that the transition to clean energy transportation benefits those who need it most. This commitment makes Palki Motors a model for inclusive, impactful climate action in developing nations.
