The Department of Transport (DoT) in Abu Dhabi said yesterday it will introduce trikes that will be used by Mawaqif paid parking inspectors from March 14 in areas where the scheme is implemented.
Najeeb Al Zarouni, General Manager of Parking in the Department of Transport said the environmentally friendly trikes are introduced with the aim of protecting the environment and contributing to sustainable development.
"This initiative is also in line with the DoT's objectives to create and deliver a world-class transport system that supports Abu Dhabi's international ambitions, and meets the Emirate's needs for the future."
The trike, a light-weight, chainless and pedal-less three-wheeled vehicle that can easily be folded, will make patrolling more efficient in paid parking areas. At 20 kilograms, the trike is very easy to manoeuvre, enabling inspectors to cover a bigger area and drive to their desired positions in a matter of seconds. The trike reaches a speed of 27 kilometres per hour and travels over 30 kilometres per charge. – Gulf News
