In a groundbreaking move towards revolutionizing urban mobility, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has inked two Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) during the Dubai International Project Management Forum (DIPMF). The first MoU explores the development potential of the Floc Duo Rail system, an avant-garde double-track transportation system designed for swift and efficient movement of units within urban landscapes. The second MoU delves into the prospects of creating a rail bus system operating on a solar-panel-equipped bridge, generating electricity for its operations.
The prestigious partnerships were established with industry-leading companies specializing in transportation solutions with zero emissions – Urban-Mass Company from the UK and RAIL BUS Inc. from the US. Abdul Mohsen Kalbat, CEO of the Rail Agency, RTA, and Ricky Sandhu, Founder and CEO of Urban Mass, signed the first MoU, while Dr. Hatem Al-Taher Ibrahim, Director of Business Development, signed on behalf of RAIL BUS Inc.
Abdul Mohsen Kalbat emphasized the significance of these MoUs within RTA's strategic plans to adopt cutting-edge practices, highlighting the innovative "Floc Duo Rail" system's features. This driverless, electric-powered system utilizes short units during low peak periods and long units during high peak periods, ensuring efficiency in meeting the city's transportation demands.
Ricky Sandhu commended RTA's forward-thinking approach and expressed pride in introducing the Floc Duo Rail system to Dubai, emphasizing its role in reducing emissions and offering cost-effective transportation solutions. The partnership exemplifies the commitment of the UK and the UAE to combat climate change, fostering sustainable mass transit options through groundbreaking technology.
Hatim Ibrahim, CEO of Rail Bus Inc., sees the collaboration with RTA as a milestone towards pioneering sustainable transportation solutions in Dubai. The partnership aims to set new benchmarks in eco-friendly mobility tailored to Dubai's dynamic landscape. The MOU signifies a shared vision of revolutionizing urban transportation through cutting-edge, sustainable technologies, contributing to Dubai's smart city vision and commitment to sustainable urban development. As the city takes strides towards a greener future, these innovative transportation systems promise to enhance the overall quality of life and passenger experience in the Emirate of Dubai.
