Qatar is dedicated to enhancing its modern transportation infrastructure in alignment with the objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030.
In an interview with Qatar TV, Najla Al Jaber, Head of the Land Transport Systems and Policies Department at the Ministry of Transport (MoT), emphasized the ministry's initiatives and commitment to promoting the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) to support the transformation strategy.
“We have a
specific strategy for electric mobility in MoT which covers electric vehicles
including buses powered by electricity, which is supported by a number of plans
to achieve it. Among the important goals we aim to achieve is a study currently
underway at MoT to establish a certification centre similar to vehicle
inspection centres for fuel-based vehicles but specialised in standards and
specifications for electric vehicles. This centre aims to enhance services and
systems that promote the use of electric vehicles,” said Najla Al Jaber.
