On the 9th Car Free Day (February 4th), Toyota, Lexus, and Hino displayed their Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) and zero-emission Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) in order to support the carbon-free society. The event was arranged by Dubai Municipality and was honored by senior executives from Al-Futtaim Automotive, Engineer Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director General of Dubai Municipality, and other government members.
“We were among the very first corporations to support the Car Free Day initiative since it started, not only because of the strong ties we enjoy with Dubai Municipality but also because we share a common goal of a low-carbon future” stated Yousuf Al Raeesi, Director of Government Affairs and HSSE, Al-Futtaim Automotive.
“Sustainable motoring has been our key priority since 2008, being the first distributor to introduce HEVs to the UAE with the Toyota Camry Hybrid. Since then, our portfolio of electrified vehicles has been on the rise, now with Sedans, SUVs and even trucks available for both individuals and corporations to choose from” he remarked.
At the 9th Car Free Day, Al-Futtaim introduced the 2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid, the 2018 Prius, the Toyota Mirai, the flagship LS500h, and the Hino 300h truck.
Last year, the Car Free Day was held on February 5th.
