The Sharjah Road and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the launch of Phase 1 of electric buses to operate on intercity lines in Sharjah, supporting the emirate's efforts towards the Climate Neutrality 2050 initiative. These 10 electric buses, equipped with air-conditioning and a battery cooling system suitable for the country's climate, aim to promote green public transportation and enhance environmental sustainability. The introduction of these buses follows a contract for the purchase of electric buses after successful efficiency testing. The next phase will witness an expansion in the number of electric buses in Sharjah's transportation fleet. Similarly, Abu Dhabi recently introduced green buses, which include both electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles, with the goal of reducing carbon emissions by over 100,000 metric tonnes. These buses operate on Route 65, contributing to a cleaner environment by emitting only water vapour, unlike harmful pollutants from fossil fuel-powered vehicles. The initiatives in both Sharjah and Abu Dhabi signify a significant step towards sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation in the United Arab Emirates.
