Abu Al-Samen highlighted that the operational costs of government vehicles, whether for fuel or maintenance, pose a significant burden on the Jordanian government's budget, especially for vehicles with engine capacities exceeding 2000 cc, Ammon News reported.

He explained that the Ministry of Transport, in cooperation with relevant government entities, established the foundation for this process in 2022, which includes the purchase of energy-efficient vehicles to replace the current ones.
