Abu Dhabi is setting the stage to host one of the most highly anticipated exhibitions of the year – Natrans Expo 2016; which will be held on October 25-26 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (Adnec).

The event will be hosted under the patronage of Dr. Abdullah Belhaif Al Nuami, Minister of Infrastructure Development, and Chairman of the Federal Transport Authority – Land and Maritime.

The two-day event will feature the most advanced technologies across a wide range of applications in today’s smart cities; from road and traffic, smart parking solutions, automatic incident and real time traffic telemetry, signals, nationwide interoperable ETC systems, metro and rail infrastructure projects, maritime and ports, security solutions to green city buses and autonomous vehicles.

Industry leaders such as Honeywell, Mitsubishi, Hyperloop, Fybr, Lean Park, Omnix International and many more will be showcasing their latest innovations and solutions at the event that aims to offer the right combination of inter-industry collaboration and public and private sector investment that will drive growth and ultimately improve access and quality of the region’s infrastructure.

Omnix International will also be showcasing its autonomous vehicle EZ10 which was jointly built with Easy Mile. Mamoun Arsan, General Manager of Omnix International said: "EZ10 is a battery-powered electric vehicle that moves in both directions because it has no specific front or rear, and can run up to four hours with AC on a single charge, while without AC it can run for up to 10 hours.  We believe that Natrans Expo is the perfect venue for showcasing EZ10 and our other solutions for smart transportation and smart cities".
