Dubai launches cutting-edge electric bus trial to boost eco drive – The National

Transport chiefs in Dubai are leading the charge for the UAE's sustainability drive by rolling out a trial of two cutting-edge electric buses.

The Volvo 7900 vehicles will operate on designated paths in both directions between La Mer South, King Salman bin Abdul Aziz Street and Al Sufouh Tram Station.

The Roads and Transport Authority joined forces with Volvo Bus Company, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, Meraas Real Estate, and ABB Group - a leader in the electric bus charging industry - for the eco-friendly initiative.
