Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai has revealed that Dubai’s public transportation will be emission-free by 2050 during The Executive Council meeting.

Dubai has approved a roadmap to make public transport emission-free by 2050. Under the initiative, the emirate’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will accelerate the adoption of electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles to its fleet of buses, school transport, taxis and limousines.

It is part of an integrated strategy to contribute to adapting to climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The RTA will also rehabilitate the infrastructure and expand the use of clean energy to encompass buildings and facilities, in addition to recycling waste.
