RTA partners with ION to expand electric mobility infrastructure.
Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (SRTA) has signed a strategic partnership with ION to establish a wide network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across Sharjah, in a move aimed at strengthening green mobility infrastructure.
Under the agreement, ION — a joint venture between BEEAH Group and Crescent Enterprises — will develop, operate, and maintain more than 100 fast EV chargers across Sharjah city, as well as the central and eastern regions.
The partnership follows ION’s approval as the first authorised operator of EV charging points in Sharjah, marking a key step in the emirate’s transition toward sustainable transport.
Yousif Khamis Al Othmani, Chairman of Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority, said the project will serve the growing number of EV users while reinforcing the authority’s commitment to advancing electric mobility in line with global sustainability goals and efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
He added that the project will be implemented in coordination with the Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority to ensure delivery according to the highest quality standards and within the agreed timeframe.
ION will also provide an integrated mobile application that allows users to locate nearby charging stations, monitor charging sessions in real time, and complete payments seamlessly.
Khaled Al Huraimel, Chairman of ION and Group CEO of BEEAH Group, said the initiative will help create a comprehensive and accessible EV charging ecosystem aligned with the United Arab Emirates’s sustainability goals and net-zero ambitions.
