Having developed a culture for alternative solutions, Vidullanka enabled its employees to switch from petrol bike to E- bike. This was officially commenced by handing over E bikes to all its mini hydro power plants supervisors in Sri Lank. In addition, Vidullanka decided to provide financial support to employees to purchase an E-bike and subsidise the travel cost by providing free of cost charging of the E-bike at the power plants. This will help to save money spent on fuel as well the valuable time they waste at fuel stations.

This worthy initiative was directed not only for the benefit of the employees but also to benefit the greater community by reducing its consumption of fuel.

If E-bikes continue to surge in popularity, they may finally provide one of the best solutions to current crisis as well as workers dissatisfied with the hassles of searching for fuel.
