Taxis in Dubai will be transformed into 100 per cent environment-friendly (hybrid, electric and hydrogen-powered) by 2027.

“The five-year plan (2023-27) aims to switch the entire taxi fleet into fully environment-friendly vehicles … at a rate of 10 per cent per annum,” said Mattar Al Tayer, director-general and chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).

The board has endorsed the plan, the RTA announced on Monday.
