UAE To Get 300 New Electric Buses Each Year

The demand for greener transportation options is growing steadily in Abu Dhabi. As a result, a new joint venture between DesignLine and Liberty Automotive will create a new production facility that can accommodate said growth.

Whereas the United States favors hybrid-electric vehicles that reduce emissions by 65-80%, the oil-rich Emirate, which holds 7% of the world’s global reserves, is insisting upon zero-emissions buses. They are also commissioning a larger-sized bus than that which already exists.

As a result, the facility will be built such that various size buses can be built. To begin with, they plan to build 300 new buses each year.
