Eco- fleet development
Moving towards eco-mobility, we have adopted greener drive systems and alternative fuels for the last years. Our fleet has currently 66 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses, and more than 900 electric buses. Each electric bus will help decarbonize urban transportation everyday by approximately 0.8 tons. They also run with massively reduced noise to address noise pollution in the city. These vehicles make Qatar the first country in the region to run such an eco-fleet for public transport.
We also minimize emissions from our school buses, with our latest fleet of Euro 5 standard diesel buses. They are equipped with one of the latest filtrations and ‘AdBlue’ system to remove particulate matter from exhausts, reducing it to the equivalent of one grain of sand per kilometer driven. As a first-of-its-kind in the region, we built a dedicated AdBlue filling station for large-scale bus operations. In cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, Mowasalat has set up a pilot project of introducing E-Buses for school transport, too.
Moreover, most of the Karwa taxis have been replaced with a hybrid fleet, and we introduced the first fully electric taxis in 2025. Each hybrid taxi saves around 12,000 kg of CO2 per year.
In line with the Qatar National Vision 2030, we aim to replace our entire fleet with electric vehicles by 2030, the final step towards a fully emission-free public transport system.
Digital solutions for more efficiency
Effectiveness is key. As one of the main transport providers in the country we understand our responsibility to establish a sustainable operations framework. We implemented latest technology across all our operations with the latest smart fleet systems as the backbone of our safe and efficient transport services. AI backed and machine-learning systems report malfunctioning of vehicles, schedule regular maintenance and ensure the optimization of schedules and routes. They model passenger flows and even streamline internal processes. In other words – digital solutions help us to maintain a highly efficient, integrated network with less emissions and cleaner air.
