The 127 vehicles that were delivered include, the powerful Prado, the trusty Camry, Corolla, Hiace, and the rugged Land Cruiser Pickup. Supporting Sharjah Police in their plans to drive the UAE Vision 2021’s environmental initiatives, Al Futtaim Motors also permitted a test drive of Toyota’s zero-emission Fuel Cell technology in the form of the hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai.
The handover, which took place at the Sharjah Police Headquarters, was attended by Saud Abbasi, Managing Director of Toyota at Al-Futtaim Motors, Brigadier Saif Al Zari Al Shamsi, General Commander of Sharjah Police, and Brigadier Abdullah Mubarak bin Amer, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Sharjah Police, among other senior officials from both bodies.

“Al-Futtaim Motors has long enjoyed an excellent business relationship with Sharjah Police and today we are happy that we’re extending our partnership with the addition of a host of 127 Toyota vehicles to the Sharjah Police fleet,” said Abbasi.
The Mirai, unlike battery-powered electric vehicles, is hydrogen-powered and is driven by an electric motor. Creating electricity through an onboard Fuel Cell stack, it uses oxygen from the air with stored hydrogen to power the car, resulting in the release of water instead of CO2.
