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, and will become an integral part of the company’s thousand-strong vehicle fleet. Contributing to reducing the company’s carbon footprint, the Tesla Semi trucks will be used alongside existing EVs, vehicles that run on compressed natural gas, vehicles that run on bio diesel, and the boats that use solar energy while cleaning lakes around the country.
