Hybrid cars join Dubai Taxi fleet
Dubai, July 29, 2008 (WAM) - The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority has received 10 cars fitted with hybrid engines from Al Futtaim Motors to join the Dubai Taxi fleet.
"Adding hybrid cars to the Dubai Taxi fleet shows the RTA's commitment to improve the environment as the new cars help minimise environmental and noise pollution," said Abdul Aziz Malek, Chief Executive Officer of the Dubai Taxi Agency.
The cars will be tested by the taxi service for six months before more are added to the fleet.
"The RTA is currently conducting a complete overhaul of mass transit systems in the emirate to make them environment-friendly," said Malek.
