Taiwan Looking to Build Electric Buses in Belize

The Ministry of Transportation is in talks with two Taiwanese companies about bringing electric buses and green transport technology to Belize.

Last Friday, Transport Minister Dr. Louis Zabaneh met with Francisco Hwang, Market Development Manager of Master, a Taiwanese electric bus manufacturer. Hwang said Belize could become a hub for regional operations and expressed interest in selling buses to the country.

Earlier this month, Zabaneh and his team met with Dr. Fred Cheng, Chief Operating Officer of Imeier Green Technology Corporation, and a representative of TRON E, a Taiwanese company specializing in electric vehicles and advanced battery systems. Cheng said his company is considering not only sales but also establishing a manufacturing presence in Belize.

The ministry said the discussions are “exploratory in nature” and reflect Belize’s openness to learning from global best practices. Officials added the talks are part of the government’s broader push to modernize transport and move toward more sustainable, climate-friendly solutions.
