The new Dubai Green Mobility Initiative Committee has said that cars to be ordered in the next few years by selected Dubai government bodies maintaining huge transportation fleets will be 10 percent electric and hybrid vehicles in the next few years.
Reporting to the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, a Dubai Green Mobility Initiative Committee was formed with an Executive and a Technical Committee in charge of achieving the committee’s set targets to reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse gases in Dubai within the next four years. Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Managing Director & CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, DEWA, said, "In adherence with the Smart Dubai initiative launched by Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to make Dubai the smartest and happiest city in the world, and to support the Dubai Plan 2020 and the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, DEWA’s Green Charger initiative aims to establish electric vehicle charging stations across Dubai, with 100 charging stations having already been installed since 2015. We will work to increase the percentage of hybrid cars in the Emirate, and contribute towards a 16 percent reduction in carbon emissions by 2020. Reductions are expected to continue in the near future." Dubai has implemented 100 electric-car charging stations with more promised in the months ahead, depending on the uptake of the vehicles and requests from concerned stakeholders. Some government bodies such as DEWA have already purchased a number of electric cars for its fleet for everyday use. DEWA was the first government entity in Dubai to add 100 percent electric vehicles to its fleet by adopting 13 electric vehicles in 2015-2016. |
