To promote sustainable mobility in the Sultanate of Oman, the Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology (MTCIT) has launched a public survey to select the name of the unified national application for charging electric vehicles.
Its goals are to facilitate users' access to all charging services in the Sultanate through a single application. Integrate all operators under one umbrella for a seamless and unified experience.
As the first hydrogen station in Oman was launched this year, MTCIT plans to replace government vehicles with electric ones. There are also plans to implement a green corridors project for trucks powered by hydrogen.
The participants in the survey can give another name suggestion for an app, apart from indicating plans, whether they own an electric vehicle or have any plans to purchase one within the next year.
It may be noted that MTCIT has launched and implemented initiatives and projects towards net-zero emissions in areas such as legislation, governance, investment, and pilot projects.
Achievements have been made in the use of biofuels in public transport, enhancing the infrastructure for electric vehicle chargers with more than 150 chargers installed by the end of 2024, implementing smart systems to reduce emissions, launching pilot hydrogen-powered vehicles, and converting port equipment to electric power. The number of registered electric vehicles exceeded 1,500 in the Sultanate in 2024.
