The Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (SRTA) has partnered with King Long, a premium bus and coach manufacturer, to introduce the first fleet of electric buses in Sharjah. This initiative represents a significant advancement in the emirate’s public transportation industry and supports SRTA’s commitment to promoting sustainable mobility within the UAE.

Currently, King Long has ten electric buses operating on Sharjah roads, with plans to increase this number to twenty by the second half of 2025.

He emphasized that SRTA has formed multiple partnerships with leading electric vehicle manufacturers to further this objective. Malik Mohammad Tariq, Vice President of Dealership at Al Ghurair Mobility, highlighted that the delivery of King Long’s electric buses is a crucial step towards fostering sustainability through innovative mobility solutions.
