In a major step towards sustainability, Abu Dhabi’s Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility) has introduced new buses powered by clean hydrogen and electric energy. The same is part of the Green Bus Programme as part of the capital’s move to turn into a green public transport zone by 2030.

The assessment period for the Green Bus Programme, which began in November 2023, will run until June 2025.
During this period, bus operators and technicians will undergo extensive training in hydrogen and electric bus technologies. This includes practical training opportunities in South Korea and China.
As Abu Dhabi’s public bus fleet transitions from diesel fuel to renewable energy, it is anticipated that annual carbon dioxide emissions in the emirate will be reduced by more than 100,000 metric tonnes.
The initiative represents a collaborative effort between public and private sectors, with Abu Dhabi Mobility partnering with international and local stakeholders to set new standards for green buses.
