Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor unveils new electric tuk-tuks in sustainability push

Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor, the luxury hotel on the ancient Khmer archaeological sites in Cambodia, has introduced a new fleet of electric tuk-tuks, providing an innovative and eco-friendly transportation option for guests.

The sleek ONiON T1 vehicles feature a white exterior shell that shields passengers from the hot tropical sun, while their sturdy suspension and legroom ensure a smooth ride for those exploring the vibrant city of Siem Reap, including the Unesco World Heritage wonder of Angkor Wat.

The new tuk-tuks are manufactured by ONiON Mobility, a green transport company headquartered in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh. The partnership between Raffles and ONiON underscores a shared commitment to environmental sustainability, the hotel said.

“Sustainability is top of mind in everything we do at Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor – from sourcing local ingredients in our restaurants and eliminating single-use plastics to other initiatives aimed at reducing our carbon footprint – and we are thrilled to be able to offer our guests these eco-friendly tuk-tuk passenger vehicles,” commented General Manager Joseph Colina.
