A new incentive programme has been launched by the UAE Ministry of Energy to encourage motorists to opt for new zero-carbon-emission electric vehicles through easy bank loans.
The announcement was made on Wednesday by the Ministry as part of its contribution to the Government Accelerators, an initiative for a solutions-based collaborat- ion among government, private sector and academic teams, aimed to drive change, raise government efficiency and speed services to build happiness for people.
Commenting on the launch, Suhail bin Mohammed Faraj Faris Al Mazrouei, Minister of Energy, said the electric vehicles are an efficient solution of high relevance to the country’s efforts to diversify sources of energy and reduce carbon footprint with the ultimate goal of enhancing economic competitiveness and ensuring
sustainable development.
The Energy minister was on hand as new memos of understanding were signed with the Emirates NBD and HSBC to provide easy credit encouraging
motorists to go for
eco-friendly cars.
