Dubai: The licensing agency at the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has urged driving institutes and centres in Dubai to consider using compressed natural gas (CNG) in powering their fleets in a bid to reduce environmental pollution.
Ahmed Bahrozyan, CEO of RTA Licensing Agency said: “The agency has held a number of workshops for all driving institutes and brought them together with other parties concerned such as Emirates Gas, Enoc and Emirates Transport where they have been briefed about the results and benefits of powering their vehicles by CNG; a clean and environment-friendly fuel.
“The Emirates Driving Institute has embarked from the start of this year the switching of their 50 vehicles to gas-powered vehicles as a provisional step towards converting remaining vehicles successively during the year,” he said.
“We have communicated with a number of institutes to mull converting their fleets into CNG-powered vehicles and highlighted the role of Emirates Gas and Enoc in providing a mobile gas station to ensure continuous gas supplies for the fleet,” explained Bahrozyan.
Amer Belhasa, Executive Director of Emirates Driving Institute said: “Converting our training vehicles into CNG-powered vehicles underscores the institute’s commitment towards curbing carbon emissions. The benefit of natural gas is not only restricted to making the environment clean, but also go beyond that to include reducing the frequency of vehicle maintenance requirements, and extending the lifespan of the engine.”
