Bee?ah, the sustainability pioneer of the Middle East, and Tandeef, Bee?ah?s waste collection and management division, have added Ducati electric mobile waste collection units to their existing fleet

Developed by Ducati Energia, the one-seater vehicle is capable of handling almost 200 kg of weight, including the driver, and can reach a speed of 50 km per hour. Charging stations for the electric vehicles (EV) will be installed throughout residential areas in Sharjah.

According to a report by Emirates News Agency (WAM), the ?shed style? charging stations are fully integrated in a network that connects the energy provider with the electric vehicles and complies with the highest European standards. They are also equipped with radio-frequency identification technology, in addition to a remote connection linked to the central office, to monitor the fleet and its operation.

The EV is the most recent addition to Bee?ah?s existing line of EVs. The deployment of the electric mobile waste collection units coincides with Bee?ah?s strategy to ensure that its entire fleet is environmentally friendly and to improve the company?s waste management services to ensure a sustainable environment in Sharjah and the UAE.

Khaled Al Huraimel, Bee?ah Group CEO, said, ?Bee?ah aims for its entire fleet to run on clean energy over the next few years. This new fleet furthers the company?s sustainability agenda by adopting an eco-friendly solution and cementing its commitment to reduce carbon emissions in order to support Bee?ah?s goal of improving air quality in the UAE. This move is a testament to Bee?ah?s efforts in enhancing the quality of life and pioneering sustainable living in the UAE and the region.?
