This forum is a perfect global platform to showcase our innovative sustainable solution, SHAMS+, which marks a new chapter in our sustainability journey as it is a solar-powered solution that will not only help decarbonize the transport industry but will also foster EV adoption in the industrial, construction, and marine sectors in the Gulf region.”
