Abu Dhabi: The Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) of the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) in Abu Dhabi has unveiled its Green Buses Capacity Building Programme.
The ITC aims to develop capacities in green buses, enhance Emirati competencies’ specialized skills, and strengthen young UAE engineers’ skills through a series of specialized technical internal and external training programs.
The training programs are carried out in partnership with the leading hydrogen-fueled and electric bus experts from South Korea and China.
The program also provides the opportunity to exchange knowledge with international technical experts. It will qualify UAE employees to lead the planning and operations procedures of hydrogen-fueled and electric buses and their infrastructure.
It intends to advance the development and localization of innovative solutions dedicated to enhancing the public transport system in Abu Dhabi.
Furthermore, this program is a component of ITC’s initiative to create a sustainable and comprehensive transportation system that advances development in Abu Dhabi.
It will also improve service quality for the community and align with the Emirate’s strategic goals of fostering a knowledge-based and innovative economy. In this vision, human capital stands as the primary driver for growth and sustainability.
The Green Buses Capacity Building Programme is a vital focus of the ITC’s strategy in its move towards using hydrogen-fueled and electric buses in the public transport bus fleet in the Emirate, as per the statement.
