Al Wegdaniyah Transport Solutions is switching from fossil fuel to Neutral Fuels biofuel for its fleet of buses used for staff transportation services and mall shuttles.
Mohamed Lashin, General Manager of Al Wegdaniyah Transport, said: “We maintain our leadership position by adopting the latest technologies, not just in our vehicles but in our operations too. In this case we’ll be using a very modern fuel to support our client’s wishes to reduce the carbon footprint of their road operations.”
Al Wegdaniyah clients include Emirates Airline staff who are collected and delivered across Dubai 24×7. They also run shuttle buses for shopping malls such as Nakheel Mall and The Pointe, and hotels such as Palazzo Versace and Jood Palace.
Karl Feilder, CEO of Neutral Fuels, said that Al Wegdaniyah was to be admired for its carbon-saving initiatives. “They have put many initiatives in place to reduce the road transport carbon footprint of their clients. These include using more fuel-efficient vehicles, optimizing trip planning to reduce the number of routes and empty trips, and teaching fuel efficient driving practices. Now they’re making their most significant change by switching to biofuel.”
This is in line with the energy-related sustainability goals the UAE has committed to achieving by 2050: cutting CO2 emissions by 70% and increasing clean energy use by 50%. Feilder said that using net zero biofuel is the quickest and easiest way for any company to radically reduce its carbon footprint.
