The Green Mobility Hall at the Water, Energy, Technology, and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) showcases leading local and international companies focused on mobility, transport, and green logistics. This hall features innovative solutions and practices utilizing the latest technologies in both individual and public sustainable transport. The goal is to reduce the operational and infrastructure costs of electric vehicles (EVs), enhance energy and resource efficiency, and promote the use of hydrogen and low-emission or carbon-free fuels.
Organized by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), the 26th WETEX takes place from October 1 to 3, 2024, at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
“WETEX supports the National Electric Vehicles Policy, Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030, and the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 Strategy. It highlights the UAE’s leading role in adopting EVs, with one of the highest ratios of charging stations to EVs globally. This exhibition serves as a global platform for showcasing the latest technologies in energy, water, and the environment, all crucial for achieving net zero and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. According to the Sixth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the transport sector accounts for 23% of net global GHG emissions, generating 8.7 GtCO2-eq annually. WETEX plays a vital role in achieving national and global climate goals by lowering the carbon footprint in transport and accelerating climate action,” stated HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA and Founder and Chairman of WETEX.
“WETEX enhances DEWA’s efforts to promote green and sustainable mobility, reinforcing the UAE and Dubai’s leadership in sustainable transport throughout the region. DEWA’s EV Green Charger initiative, launched in 2014, established the region’s first public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. The advanced green charging stations in Dubai comprise over 700, developed in collaboration with various stakeholders, including around 400 stations operated by DEWA, with plans for further expansion,” Al Tayer added.
