Dubai Municipality's green building and sustainability requirements are accelerating the adoption of electric and hybrid construction equipment. A number of rental firms have added electric excavators and telehandlers to their UAE fleets to meet demand from environmentally focused projects.
Electric equipment offers lower emissions and noise, which can support compliance with site and regulatory requirements. Initial hire rates may be higher than for conventional plant, but total cost of use is increasingly competitive as technology matures.
Contractors planning tenders in Dubai should factor in the availability of electric and hybrid options when specifying or sourcing equipment.
