Skywell partners with National Taxi to promote sustainable transport
This collaboration will not only reduce transport-related emissions but will also promote cleaner urban mobility
Skywell has partnered with operator National Taxi to promote sustainable transport and will supply electric vehicles for the latter’s fleet. The collaboration will not only reduce transport-related emissions but will also promote cleaner urban mobility, contributing to a healthier environment for future generations.
The cooperation supports the achievement of plans and targets for Net Zero emissions public transport in 2050, and the decarbonisation targets are set to be achieved in the coming years to reach zero emissions by 2040 for the taxi and limousine sectors.
“The integration of Skywell electric vehicles into National Taxi Operations is a key step towards supporting the UAE’s sustainability goals. Our electric vehicles are designed with the latest energy-efficient technology, ensuring a smooth transition to greener (cleaner) transportation while significantly reducing carbon emissions,” said Chena Reddy, Group Managing Director at Legend Holding Group, and Thilak Raju, Head of Automotive Dealerships at Skywell UAE.
The collaboration is part of the UAE’s efforts to promote sustainable transport and is in line with the Climate Neutrality Initiative 2050, the National Electric Vehicle Policy, and the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030.
Toufic Mitri, CEO of National Taxi Company added, “We are proud to partner with Skywell UAE in this pioneering effort to make our fleet more environmentally friendly. By adopting electric vehicles, we are not only improving the efficiency of our services, but also contributing to the UAE’s broader environmental goals, and this collaboration reinforces our commitment to providing modern and sustainable mobility solutions as per RTA’s directions and plans. Dubai’s rapidly growing infrastructure to support electric mobility is currently strengthening this partnership, with 380 green charging stations for electric vehicles operating across Dubai, with plans to expand to 1,000 by 2025.”
These efforts are in line with the UAE’s Green Agenda 2030, which aims to reduce carbon emissions and increase the share of electric taxis to 100% by 2040. With the inclusion of advanced electric vehicles from Skywell, National Taxi Company is set to improve operational efficiency and alignment with the UAE’s broader environmental goals, said the statement.
