Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has been awarded an intellectual property certificate for its first industrial design: the solar-powered electric abra.
The certificate was granted to the RTA’s Marine Transport Department by the Ministry of Economy, the official authority in the UAE responsible for issuing intellectual property certificates across various fields.
Securing this certificate serves several strategic objectives: protecting RTA’s exclusive rights, reinforcing its uniqueness and pioneering status, enabling licensing and franchising rights, and safeguarding its valuable assets.
This certification also contributes to RTA’s growing track record of achievements in the field of sustainability, particularly in solar energy, one of the key renewable energy sources that supports environmental protection and public health. It marks a milestone that reinforces RTA’s efforts to assume a leading position both locally and globally in sustainability, while supporting its vision of seamless and sustainable mobility.
RTA is committed to advancing creativity and innovation by fostering a work environment that encourages employees across various agencies to develop and refine their best ideas and proposals continually. These efforts aim to enhance further RTA’s journey of excellence, creativity, and innovation in delivering high-quality services to all segments of society, in line with its distinguished position locally, regionally, and globally.
