Dubai Municipality has converted five of its vehicles to use natural gas, in the first phase of a project aimed at reducing emissions and cutting fuel costs.
During a second phase, commercial and medium-sized vehicles will be converted to a total of 438.
"The project contributes to the economic benefit as it will achieve an estimated fuel saving of about Dh2.3million a year in the event of converting 400 vehicles. It will also achieve significant environmental benefit by reducing the rate of carbon emissions by 70 per cent in each vehicle when using natural gas," Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director General of Dubai Municipality said at the launch on Tuesday morning.
The natural gas is being supplied by Emirates Gas.
