Sharjah aims to promote green public transportation and achieve environmental sustainability, according to SRTA.
Earlier, Abu Dhabi launched 'green' buses that include both electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles, on September 12.
Anan Alamri, section head at ITC’s Alternative Sustainable Mobility, Public Transport Affairs Sector spoke about the move during the ‘The Journey to Net Zero Forum’ organised by Khaleej Times on August 27.
The bus operates on Route 65 between Marina Mall and Shams Boutik in Al Reem Island. Unlike fossil fuel buses, hydrogen-powered and electric vehicles do not emit harmful pollutants. In particular, hydrogen-powered ones only emit water vapour.
With the transition from diesel to renewable energy sources, annual carbon dioxide emissions in Abu Dhabi are expected to drop by more than 100,000 metric tonnes in the future, according to WAM.
