Logistics and transportation company Aramex has introduced electric motorcycles (e-bikes) to its last-mile delivery fleet in the UAE.

This initiative aligns with the company’s ambitious sustainability goals, aiming for a 98 per cent electric vehicle fleet by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

The move comes after Aramex successfully launched electric vans in the UAE last year and Jordan in 2017.

The company has also been testing the use of electric vehicles in other regional markets such as Saudi Arabia.

The e-bikes complement these efforts, further reducing operational carbon footprint and contributing to the UAE’s goal of net zero by 2050.

Aramex focused on green mile logistics

Samer Marei, VP of Aramex in the GCC region, emphasised the significance of the e-bikes: “This fantastic new initiative marks a crucial step towards green mile logistics in the region. E-bikes not only reduce emissions but also enhance efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and future-readiness.”

The e-bikes are expected to bring both environmental and operational benefits. Besides reducing the carbon footprint, they offer potential cost savings through lower fuel consumption. Additionally, they improve last-mile delivery efficiency and flexibility.

The e-bikes underwent rigorous testing before being integrated into the fleet, ensuring they can withstand local weather conditions.

This initiative also aligns with Aramex‘s “Delivering Good” programme, which prioritises environmental responsibility through various measures, including reducing energy consumption and minimising material use.
