The buses to be delivered will feature Volvo chassis, combined with GML’s innovative aluminium superstructure using Constellium’s Aluminium Alloy and Bolted System Bus Body Technology. This combination is expected to provide superior safety, efficiency, and longevity, meeting the high standards set for Dubai’s public transportation system.
