Abu Dhabi's Green Bus Revolution: Transforming Urban Mobility with Hydrogen Technology
Key Ideas
  • Abu Dhabi's Bus Service No. 65 is now fully operated by green buses powered by advanced hydrogen and electric technologies, reducing carbon emissions and setting a new standard for eco-friendly urban transportation.
  • The transition is part of Abu Dhabi Mobility's plan to convert 50% of buses to green alternatives by 2030, aiming to cut 200 tonnes of carbon emissions per day and enhance sustainable urban mobility in the emirate.
  • The use of cutting-edge battery technology and hydrogen fuel cells in the green buses allows for zero-emission operations, demonstrating how innovation in public transport can contribute to ambitious environmental goals.
  • Continuous evaluation of service efficiency through onboard surveys and advanced monitoring systems helps improve service quality, increase user satisfaction, foster community engagement, and align with Abu Dhabi's strategic and environmental objectives.
Abu Dhabi's Integrated Transport Centre has successfully converted Bus Service No. 65 into an eco-friendly service powered by advanced hydrogen and electric technologies, reducing carbon emissions and setting a new benchmark for sustainable urban mobility in the emirate. This conversion is part of a strategic plan to transform Abu Dhabi Island into a Public Transport Green Zone by 2030, with the goal of decarbonising the city's public transport network by converting 50% of buses to green alternatives. By transitioning to green buses, the service aims to reduce carbon emissions by 200 tonnes per day, equivalent to removing 14,700 cars from the roads. The green buses operate with cutting-edge battery technology and hydrogen fuel cells, achieving zero-emission operations and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The initiative not only enhances passenger experience and comfort but also contributes to ambitious environmental goals. Continuous evaluation of service efficiency through surveys and monitoring systems ensures service quality, user satisfaction, and community engagement. This initiative showcased at the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week Summit supports the UAE's Net Zero by 2050 strategy, reinforcing Abu Dhabi's commitment to adopting innovative, eco-friendly technologies in public transport for sustainable development and enhanced quality of life.
