The dispensers use technology that leverages atmospheric humidity to produce drinking water.
The rest of the delivery riders in the Dubai area will soon be equipped with innovative air-to-water dispensers that generate around 100 litres of drinking water per day.
In a new initiative by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Majid Al Futtaim (MAF) Group, the first phase of the project will see three air-to-water dispensers installed in the rest areas of delivery riders. The dispensers operate at 30ºC and 65% humidity, using technology that converts atmospheric moisture into drinking water.
This initiative complements RTA's ongoing program to construct 40 air-conditioned rest areas for delivery riders. Through this new partnership, the safety and well-being of the rapidly growing delivery sector are expected to be enhanced.
Several rest areas have already been completed, with the remaining ones scheduled for construction in three phases.
"This sustainable solution not only provides safe drinking water to delivery bike drivers but also helps reduce the environmental footprint," stated Abdullah Yousef Al Ali, CEO of the Licensing Agency at RTA, who signed the agreement.
Majid Al Futtaim's contribution to providing safe drinking water is crucial for the health and well-being of delivery drivers working long hours outdoors.
