Dubai Taxi Company (DTC) has partnered with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) to deploy 208 ultra-fast electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across its fleet, marking a major step in Dubai’s green mobility drive.
The strategic contract, signed at the WETEX 2025 exhibition, aligns with the emirate’s sustainability vision and DTC’s fleet electrification roadmap.
The agreement was formalized by Waleed bin Salman, DEWA’s Executive Vice President of Business Development and Excellence, and Mansoor Rahma Alfalasi, CEO of DTC, in the presence of HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA. Senior officials and sustainability leaders attended the signing at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
Al Tayer highlighted the move as part of DEWA’s EV Green Charger initiative, which now provides over 1,500 charging points across Dubai. He emphasized the project’s role in supporting the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030, the Dubai Social Agenda 33, and the Net-Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050, noting its impact on reducing emissions, boosting operational efficiency, and enhancing Dubai’s global competitiveness.
Abdul Mushen Ibrahim Kalbat, DTC Chairman, said the company aims to fully electrify its fleet by 2040, with the initiative serving as a blueprint for sustainable, connected transport.
“This partnership is a strategic investment in the future of mobility,”
he added.
The first phase will see two main charging hubs launched at DTC Depot near Dubai International Airport and DTC headquarters in Muhaisnah 4. Featuring next-generation chargers with up to 360 kW capacity, the network is expected to reduce 37,939 metric tonnes of CO₂ annually. Combined with DTC’s existing infrastructure, the total emissions reduction will reach 49,654 metric tonnes per year, contributing significantly to the UAE Net Zero 2050 Strategy.
Launched in 2014, DEWA’s EV Green Charger initiative continues to expand Dubai’s pioneering charging infrastructure to support the city’s growing EV adoption.
