Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced plans to install battery-swapping stations for electric bikes across key locations in the emirate.
The move is part of a wider push to promote sustainable transport, especially within the fast-growing delivery sector.
The initiative is being developed in partnership with Terra Tech, a MENA-based micro-mobility tech start-up. It marks the first project of its kind in the region to promote zero-emission delivery fleets.
The system will offer delivery companies a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional fuel-powered bikes.
Ahmed Mahboob, CEO of the RTA’s Licensing Agency, said the plan will support the Commercial and Logistics Land Transport Strategy 2030, which targets a 30 per cent reduction in carbon emissions.
He added that the plan includes infrastructure development at 36 locations, offering convenient, low-cost alternatives for delivery operators and helping reduce noise and air pollution.
