SHARJAH, 14th September, 2015 (WAM) — Bee’ah, the Sharjah Environment Co, has launched its Tandeef Smart Eco-fleet, a revolutionary expansion for vehicular green technology and state-of-the-art functions.
The Smart Eco-fleet is a selection of technologically advanced environmental vehicles added to the fleet of Tandeef, Bee’ah’s waste collection division, improving the environmental impact of its operations with lower-emissions and better efficiency. The latest announcement is seen as a significant and vital step towards fully transforming the company’s transportation and waste management operations, into the benchmark for the region for sustainable transport.
Bee’ah’s Smart Eco-fleet is highlighted by the addition of new Electric Vehicles, a first in UAE in waste management, which includes public cleansers, sweepers, washers, leaf collectors and litter pickers. They’re easy, convenient, low noise, and completely sustainable.
In addition, Bee’ah has obtained Combi-wash vehicles, featuring completely hygienic technology, as they collect and clean bins at the same time, which in turn saves time, effort, resources, and manpower.
Compressed Natural Gas is used to operate a number of Tandeef’s new CNG vehicles, which also reduces the negative impact of CO2 emissions on the environment.
Commenting on the development, Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO of Bee’ah, said, “This new progress in Bee’ah’s journey aims at lifting the environmental impact of our fleet, while at the same time demonstrating the innovative nature of environmental progress in the Middle East. We have raised the bar of excellence in terms of harnessing the best environmental practices, helping to elevate the profile and strategic position of the UAE as a world-leading country in sustainability.”
