Emission-free public transport will move the country closer to achieving climate neutrality
Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Global Motor Electric, part of the Al Fahim Group and Yinlong Energy have recently announced the launch of environment-friendly Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) Electric buses in the Middle East region. LTO electric buses can be charged in under 20 minutes as compared to a few hours for other lithium-ion electric buses.
The bus with T3 rated air-conditioner which can perform at temperatures in excess of 50°C, was successfully tested in Abu Dhabi during the summer of 2020 for battery performance and fast charging.
The LTO battery is the safest Lithium-ion battery in the world with the longest life span of over 25 years making it the most advanced lithium-ion battery available in the market today.
According to the company, just one diesel bus with an electric bus is the equivalent to reducing harmful emissions from 27 passenger cars driven for one year, and 12,175 gallons of diesel over a ten-year period, a press communiqué stated.
“We at Al Fahim are committed to investing resources to implement as well as accelerate the sustainability agenda of the UAE,” noted Mohammed Abdulla Abdul Jaleel Al Fahim, Group Head Business Development.
“With the new bus fleet set to be rolled out across the rest of the Middle East following the launch, we are confident that this will transform public transportation in the region,” observed Susan Lam, Vice President, Yinlong Energy.
