UAE's Commitment to Environmentally Friendly Cars

The UAE is developing its share of environment-friendly cars. For instance, the Green Car Rental in Dubai offers a unique concept for the Middle East, providing drivers the opportunity to rent or lease hybrid or full-electric vehicles.

Benefits of Electric Vehicles

These electric cars provide an alternative that is environmentally friendly and considered the greenest option in the personal transportation industry, producing low pollution compared to internal combustion engines. The most significant benefits include:

• Lower pollution levels associated with electric vehicles.
• Reduced fuel costs, as electricity is cheaper than gas for internal combustion engines.
