Mattar Al-Tayer, director general and RTA’s board chairman, said: “In 2017, RTA started the operation of 172 Tesla vehicles as part of the limousine fleet of the Dubai Taxi comprising 80 Tesla Model S, 50 Tesla Model X, and 42 Tesla Model 3,” he said.
Al-Tayer noted that these vehicles were highly efficient, especially in terms of customer satisfaction and carbon emissions.The experiment is aimed to support Dubai’s effort to transform 90 percent of its limo fleet into eco-friendly vehicles by 2026 and would also support the UAE Circular Economy Council’s policies which covers four main sectors: Manufacturing, food, infrastructure, and transportation.
