ENOC unveils new Ghaf tree station concept

Sunday, 31 March 2019 at 18:43

A petrol station shaped like a Ghaf tree is to be set up by the Expo 2020 Dubai site.

The ENOC Group has unveiled the new service station concept that was inspired by the UAE's national tree.

The Ghaf tree is known for its high sustainability and deep roots that make it resilient even in harsh weather conditions.

The station's exoskeleton is built with carbon fibre that is a first for the construction of an entire service station canopy.

Now that’s what we call fuelling innovation! Inspired by the Ghaf, the UAE’s national tree, the new @ENOC service station on the #Expo2020 site will feature smart solutions from a solar-powered canopy and waste water recycling to AI-assisted queue management. pic.twitter.com/EvjDRiOwD8
