NNA - Innovator Hisham Al-Hussami has launched Lebanon’s first locally manufactured solar-powered smart electric taxi under the "Lira Smart Taxi" initiative, aimed at advancing public transport, sustainability, and social inclusion. 

The vehicle runs on electric power supported by solar panels and features a smart trip management system, digital meter, internal security cameras, and a QR code displaying driver information. 

Designed to accommodate persons with disabilities, it promotes accessibility and safety. 

Al-Hussami described the project as a transformative step for Beirut’s transport sector and a model for sustainable, locally driven industrial innovation.
