Fighting Covid-19: 45 Special Trucks Designed To Sanitize Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi now has specially-designed vehicles to sterilize the city. The initiative is a collaborative effort by the Department of Municipalities and Transport and Abu Dhabi Center for Waste Management (Tadweer).

The specially-designed trucks sterilise public facilities and residential areas. The move is part of the ongoing sterilization program happening in the UAE.

What’s It?

45 special vehicles are used to wash and sterilize Abu Dhabi streets. The vehicles are equipped with a dual spray capability to achieve the best results. The vehicles can spray sterilisation materials for 100 metres and are supported by two fans, with a capacity of 30 kilowatts.

Each vehicle can hold up to 10,000 litres of water and consumes about 10 cubic meters of water per hour.  This also makes it an eco-friendly consumption of water and materials, and the ability to clean as many areas as possible.
