Otaxi App gears up to launch an electric taxi service in the Muscat governorate in the second quarter of 2024. This strategic initiative aligns seamlessly with Oman's ambitious objective of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, marking a significant milestone in transforming the nation's transportation landscape. CEO, Harith Maqbali emphasizes the pivotal role that electric cars play in supporting the Omani government's emission reduction targets. The trial, commencing in Muscat, is poised for expansion into other governorates, promising a gradual overhaul of the entire taxi fleet. This move is particularly impactful, considering that 60% of emissions from the transport sector stem from light vehicles, addressing a crucial aspect of environmental impact. In line with Oman's commitment, the Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology (MTCIT) has outlined a phased approach to phase out fuel-operated vehicles by 2035. The ambitious plan aims for 79% of the country's vehicles to be electric by that time, with estimates projecting at least 22,000 new electric vehicles on Oman's roads by 2040. #automotivenews #middleeast #oman #otaxi #electricvehicles #taxi #automotive #omanvision2040 #thinkdirectautomotiveconsulting #TDAC
