Aramex, a leading global logistics and transportation solutions provider, has taken a significant step towards decarbonising logistics in the oil and gas sector, launching its first commercial deployment of electric trucks and charging solutions in the UAE.
Partnering with the UAE-based Admiral Mobility, Aramex has introduced a fleet of eight-ton Farizon electric trucks, powered by a 162kwh battery, for operations in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
The initiative aligns with Aramex’s strategy to pioneer sustainable logistics solutions for its clients, reducing the environmental impact of industrial supply chains, the company said.
The electric trucks will support Aramex’s oil and gas clients by providing efficient, eco-friendly transportation options.
Tarek Abuyaghi, General Manager UAE, Aramex, said the partnership with Admiral Mobility advances the company’s ambitions of increasing efficiency, lowering energy consumption and material use.
“We look forward to accelerating our net-zero ambitions and offering customers greener, cleaner logistics solutions,” he said.
Graham Bremer, General Manager, Admiral Mobility, said the deployment of these electric trucks will enable further understanding of operating commercial EV which will help Aramex in transitioning their fleet to EV.
“We are super excited to be on this journey with Aramex,” he said.
This deployment is part of Aramex’s comprehensive sustainability efforts, which include energy-efficient technologies, renewable energy investments, and sustainable packaging solutions.
It complements the recent addition of e-bikes and fully electric vans to Aramex’s last-mile delivery fleet in the UAE, part of the company’s goal to convert 98 per cent of its fleet to electric by 2030.
