Sami Ali Al Jallaf, Executive Director of the Public Transport and Licensing Corporation at Ajman Transport Authority, said: "The increase is part of our strategic plans and clear targets. The Transport Authority aims to convert the entire fleet of taxis to eco-friendly vehicles by 2030."

The fleet now includes vehicles powered by natural gas and electricity and hydrogen and hybrid vehicles that contribute to reducing carbon emissions.
