Use of Tesla Semi Trucks

Set to enter production in 2019 and roam the streets of the UAE by 2020, the Tesla Semi trucks will primarily be used for waste collection and transportation. These trucks will play an integral role in Bee’ah's thousand-strong vehicle fleet, contributing to a significant reduction in the company's carbon footprint.

The Tesla Semi trucks will be utilized alongside:
