After the huge success of operating 172 Tesla vehicles in the limousine service since 2017, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced that the Tesla Model 3 has joined Dubai Taxi’s taxi fleet on a trial basis.
The trial run was designed to validate the efficiency of the vehicle when deployed in the emirate’s taxi fleet.
Mattar Al Tayer, director general and chairman of the executive board of the RTA, said it started operating 172 Tesla vehicles in 2017 as part of the Dubai Taxi limousine fleet, including 80 Tesla Model S, 50 Tesla Model X, and 42 Tesla Model 3.
He said the vehicles have recorded positive indicators in terms of operational efficiency, particularly in terms of zero carbon emissions and high customer satisfaction.
The use of Tesla electric vehicles in Dubai’s taxi fleet is an extraordinary experience, supporting the government’s energy and low carbon strategy.
“The success of this experiment motivates us to expand the use of electric vehicles as part of Dubai’s taxi fleet in the coming years. It supports the conversion of 90% of Dubai’s limousine fleet to environmentally friendly vehicles (hybrid/electric) by 2026,” Al said Tayer said.
“This initiative is the first in the world to semi-completely transform a luxury sedan into an eco-friendly vehicle,” he added.-TradeArabia News Service
