Dubai Airports launched electric cars on Monday with a driving range of up to 520km on a single charge.
Chevrolet Middle East and Dubai Airports announced that the Bolt EV has joined the Dubai Airports' support vehicle fleet as that company strives to further limit its environmental footprint.
Hailed for its unprecedented driving range of up to 520km on a single charge, the Chevrolet Bolt EV is the perfect vehicle for the job, according to a statement issued today.
Supporting Dubai Airports at Dubai International (DXB) which remains the world's busiest international airport, the Chevrolet Bolt EV will transport teams on the airport's roadways to facilitate a range of airside tasks, from airfield maintenance to traffic management to runway and taxiway inspections.
John Roth, President and Managing Director of General Motors Middle East and Africa said: "Boasting all the environmental benefits of an EV, the Chevrolet Bolt EV remains a game changer in its segment promising class-leading range and the practicality of a conventional vehicle."

General Motors' alternate propulsion efforts, spearheaded by the Chevrolet Bolt EV, fall in line with the Dubai Government's vision for more sustainable and smarter mobility solutions.
Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports added: "Our partnership with Chevrolet is in line with our continued efforts to contribute to Dubai's green initiatives. The addition of the Chevrolet Bolt EV to our support vehicle fleet will go a long way in increasing awareness of the benefits of electric vehicles while further cementing our alignment our push for environmentally responsible mobility solutions.
