In an effort to limit speed and boost public safety, Dubai Taxi Corporation at Roads & Transport Authority (RTA) started, since last April, installation of Speed Limiters in several vehicles of Dubai Taxi fleet.
 
“RTA is always keen on implementing the best global practices to maintain public safety, foster a safe traffic environment, and minimize catastrophic accidents caused by excess speed resulting in extensive losses in lives & properties” said Ahmed Mohammed Al Hammadi, Director of Resources & Support at RTA Dubai Taxi Corporation.
 
“We have installed 200 devices in Dubai Taxi Corporation fleet vehicles since last April, where 4 devices are installed per day; each device takes abut 45 minutes to install. These devices will be subject to a 2-month trial run ending in the beginning of June 2009.
 
“Following the trial period, an effective mechanism will be introduced to assess the overall results of this technique guided by two key factors; percentage of drop in fuel consumption, and percentage of reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from exhausts of vehicles fitted with Speed Limiters.
 
“This technique does not only stabilize the cruising speed of vehicle, but also plays an effective role in cutting fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. Accordingly it will have a positive effect on the public health through contributing to a clean & sustained environment” added Al Hammadi.
