Water Management

DTC operates in a water‑scarce environment and manages water use across its facilities to support efficiency and responsible resource use. Oversight of water and waste‑related matters is integrated within the QHSE and Operations functions, ensuring controls and monitoring are embedded into day‑to‑day activities.

Water Use Reduction

A major share of Dubai Taxi Company’s water consumption comes from vehicle washing at its workshop, where a closed‑loop recycling system managed by ENOC is in place. As part of DTC’s safety and quality standards, all vehicles are washed every 24 hours using a mechanical purification process that avoids toxic chemicals.

All water from washing is collected, treated, and reused, significantly reducing overall consumption. Since launching its water‑saving car wash initiative in 2018, DTC’s closed‑loop system, which cleans over 2,500 vehicles daily, has achieved an 82% reduction in water usage for vehicle cleaning.
