UAE ELECTRIC BUS MARKET

INTRODUCTION

Sustainable buses will be phased in over time, eventually replacing all diesel as well as other hazardous vehicles of this type, including school buses. Electric cars, vans, and trucks will also be tested, according to the project's sponsors.

The vehicle's battery technology has been successfully tested in the United Arab Emirates, overcoming the hurdles posed by the country's severe summer heat.

RTA will measure the operational efficiency of the two electric buses and experiment with charging electric buses using the charge station throughout the trial phase, which will last until March 2022.

UAE ELECTRIC BUS MARKET DEVELOPMENTS AND INNOVATIONS

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

This can be linked to the administration of the nation's programs to enhance the acceptance of electric automobiles. Compared to ordinary buses, these battery electric buses emit no pollution, operate quietly, and accelerate more quickly.

As a result, all highly populated cities are expected to adopt electric buses in order to minimise greenhouse gases and other key pollutants in the environment. Furthermore, an increasing number of bus manufacturers are opting to build electric buses as alternatives to diesel-fuelled buses, assisting the growth of the UAE electric bus market.

Volvo Buses has been one of the most advanced solution provider in the used car requirements. The Volvo 7900 Electric is a quiet and relaxing experience. At the bus stop, the bus greets your passengers quietly and softly.

Low interior noise makes it easy to converse with passengers or listen to music while driving. The high-performance electric Volvo drivetrain and refined transmission give remarkable torque and driveability for safe uphill operation. The Volvo Dynamic Steering (VDS) and optimised battery location contribute to the superb handling and smooth driving experience.

Al Fahlim Group has been one of the most advanced solution provider in the electric bus requirements. For public transit, a Dolphin series 12-metre, 34-seater bus and a vintage series 10.5-metre, 30-seater bus were used, as well as a historical series 10.5-metre, 30-seater bus as shuttle bus.

The two buses were built at the Yinlong Energy headquarters in Zhuhai, China. After a single charge, it can travel 95 kilometres, or 6 silent and emission-free rides. The world's greatest flash charging facility at bus stops, owing to Hitachi Energy's pioneering Grid-eMotion smart charging solution, takes less than 10 seconds.
