Various emirates in the UAE are coming up with incentives for environmentally-friendly vehicles including free and special parking facilities.
The newly renamed Ministry of Climate Change and Environment is working with local municipalities to offer incentives to the owners of such cars so that they will be used on a larger scale in the country. Ajman has become the first emirate to offer free parking for electric cars. Abu Dhabi and Sharjah have also accepted to offer free parking for these cars. Dubai (RTA) has agreed to provide free Salik tags and special parking for electric cars.
The President of the Automobile and Touring Club of the UAE (ATCUAE) Mohammed Ben Sulayem said driving electric and hybrid cars is a relatively new concept in the world of the automotive industry in the Middle East. He further adds “People here are not yet used to buying this kind of cars yet. But the positive impact and environmental solutions offered by this concept make it imperative for all the parties concerned to work on setting an effective strategy that can contribute to spreading this concept in the near future”.
