In a significant move towards environmental stewardship, the German Jordanian University (GJU) has introduced two electric vehicles into its fleet, replacing traditional fossil fuel-powered vehicles. This initiative is part of the university's broader sustainability strategy, which aims to streamline its vehicle operations, minimize fossil fuel consumption, and reduce carbon emissions.
The introduction of these electric vehicles reflects the university’s commitment to advancing clean energy use and lowering operational and maintenance costs, contributing to the development of a more sustainable, green, and intelligent campus.
Prof. Malek Alsharairi, GJU’s Vice President, recently met with the Movement Division staff from the General Services Department. He commended their efforts in aligning with the university's operational and environmental goals by optimizing resource use and minimizing both economic and ecological impacts.
Prof. Alsharairi highlighted that this move is part of the university's ongoing pursuit of excellence, which was recently recognized with the royal honor from His Majesty King Abdullah II, who awarded the university the Order of Independence, First Class. This honor was in recognition of the university's contributions to applied education quality and scientific collaboration between Jordan and Germany. Additionally, the university has achieved ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 21001:2018 certifications.
The staff of the Movement Division expressed their gratitude for the university administration's support and reiterated their commitment to the university’s sustainability vision. They are dedicated to advancing the university's goals in resource management and maintaining its high standards of academic and administrative excellence.
Prof. Alsharairi noted that this initiative is part of a series of projects aimed at promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility, aligning with the university’s vision to be a leader in integrating academic excellence with sustainable practices.
