UAE planning 60 biodiesel buses in public transport fleet within three years

In the UAE, the Roads and Transport Authority now has 11 biofuel-powered buses in its fleet following a successful trial started in 2012 with just one biofuel-powered bus. The buses are averaging 34% lower carbon emissions than their fossil fuel counterparts as well as 7% lower fuel costs. The plan is to boost the biodiesel bus fleet to 60 vehicles in the next three years.
