Sharjah has beefed up its sustainable public transport fleet with the addition of more electric vehicles.

A fleet of Tesla Model S and Model 3 vehicles will also be launched soon.

The initiative is part of the emirate's efforts to boost sustainable travel options. The SRTA currently owns more than 750 hybrid vehicles that run on electricity and fuel.
