In a move reflecting Abu Dhabi’s firm commitment to environmental sustainability and the adoption of smart, low-emission mobility solutions, data released by the Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility) has revealed that the emirate’s green bus fleet successfully reduced carbon emissions by an estimated 1,332 tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2025.
The achievement underscores the effectiveness of operational plans aimed at advancing climate neutrality and enhancing quality of life across the emirate.

Reducing emissions by this amount within a single year represents a tangible indicator of the significant transformation taking place in Abu Dhabi’s road transport sector.
The reduction of 1,332 tonnes of carbon emissions is equivalent to removing hundreds of conventional fossil-fuel-powered vehicles from the roads for an entire year, or planting tens of thousands of trees to absorb the same volume of greenhouse gases.
This achievement has been made possible through the efficient operation of environmentally friendly buses powered by clean energy technologies, including electricity and green hydrogen. These buses have been integrated into key routes across Abu Dhabi Island and its surrounding areas, providing safe, quiet and zero-direct-emission mobility options without compromising operational efficiency or adherence to scheduled services.
Key drivers of success
This progress is the result of the Green Bus Programme launched by the Integrated Transport Centre, which is built around several strategic…
