General Manager of ENGIE Solutions Kuwait, Yassine Lafhail,said: “At ENGIE, the transportation industry is a key area of development, as this sector is responsible for 23 percent of global CO2 emissions and is heavily dependent on oil. Today, the transformation to green mobility and carbon neutrality is quite essential, as more companies are incorporating these goals into their business operations.
To meet this challenge, we are developing urban planning and advisory activities, as well as public transport solutions which include: electrification, signal system installations, service optimization and embedding alternative fuels such as hydrogen, electric mobility and natural gas, as well as the development of smart and digital platforms that can also improve traffic fluidity.
“We are delighted to be part of this initiative and partner with one of the country’s prominent automotive players, ALSAYER Holding, to bring forward this positive transformation,” he concluded.
