National Assembly Approves Transport Policies Amid Infrastructure Challenges
What happened
The National Assembly of People's Power approved policies affecting local transport on October 24, 2026. During a working visit, Vice Minister of Transport Marcos Bermúdez de la Torre assessed the sector, noting issues related to fuel shortages and a deteriorating vehicle fleet. The province of Holguín, which has 2,535 electric tricycles, faces obstacles because only one of four installed charging stations is operational due to a lack of solar backup and energy storage systems.
