Sharjah Taxi launched four electric vehicles of the Skywell model as part of its limousine fleet at the airport, in
line with the company’s vision to increase its electric and hybrid cars fleet. This move signifies a significant
step towards environmentally friendly transportation and supports the UAE’s goal of transitioning to carbon-
free transportation methods by 2050.

Transport Solutions, Mr Khaled Al Kindi, General Manager of Sharjah Taxi, Mr Adel Al Ali, acting Manager-
Sharjah Taxi, Mr Efad Kabbany – Fleet Management Department Head, and Mr Kai Zheng, the founder and

Sultan Al-Ketbi affirmed that the introduction of new electric vehicles and their addition to the Sharjah Taxi
fleet is part of supporting the strategic initiatives of the UAE, aimed at bolstering the green transportation
system, increasing the proportion of electric cars to enhance the use of renewable energy and related
technologies. This contributes to reducing carbon emissions and gradually transitioning to eco-friendly modes
of transportation, alongside reducing fuel consumption rates, noise and pollution levels, as well as
maintenance costs and mechanical breakdowns that vehicles regularly require.
