CDB (Citizens Development Business Finance PLC), in collaboration with its technology partner Vega Innovations a subsidiary of CodeGen International (Pvt) Ltd has launched the e Shift initiative, a landmark project aimed at advancing the green economy in Sri Lanka by promoting electric vehicles (EVs), charging infrastructure, and creating more knowledge on EV-centric mobility solutions to accelerate sustainable mobility solutions. This initiative focuses on creating a comprehensive ecosystem to speed up the adoption of electric-powered vehicles and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

At the core of the e-Shift project is the conversion of conventional fossil fuel-powered Three Wheelers (3W) into fully electric vehicles. Our e-Shift Concept Centre, a dynamic educational hub, serves to inform and ignite interest in electric-powered vehicles across Sri Lanka. Additionally, we are dedicated to expanding the EV charging infrastructure, with a focus on establishing the country’s pioneering fast-charging stations for Three Wheelers at the Concept Centre. This initiative directly addresses the 1.5 million three-wheelers currently operating in Sri Lanka, driving us towards a greener and more sustainable future
