In order to increase its road freight network in the GCC and give clients more assurance, dependability, and efficiency while transporting goods throughout the area, DP World has purchased 700 trucks. The investment is a component of the company’s long-term plan to create an integrated logistics network that links economic zones, ports and terminals, and digital platforms to provide clients with supply chain-wide end-to-end solutions.
“This is a long-term investment in our multimodal network and the customers that trade in the GCC,” stated Ahmad Yousef Al-Hassan, CEO and Managing Director of DP World GCC. We are expanding our capabilities to give clients an integrated network they can rely on at every turn as local demand increases. The fleet will service both domestic and international trucking for DP World’s clientele in the GCC, adding up to 35,000 truck trips each month. The fleet will facilitate the efficient movement of both containerized and non-containerized freight and meet first, middle, and last mile needs throughout the region.
“Our customers want certainty, reliability, efficiency, and more sustainable supply chain solutions,” stated Raveen Guliani, COO-Logistics at DP World GCC. That is made possible by the ability to transport products, containers, automobiles, and perishables around our interconnected network of ports and warehouses. We will investigate green-energy vehicles in the future, and these new trucks are fuel-efficient and compliant with the Euro V emissions standard.
The operation is gradually deploying the new trucks. They supplement DP World’s existing network fleet capacity, which has grown to handle about 3,000 truck movements daily throughout the area. More than 350,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) were routed overland after maritime disruption thanks to DP World’s recent establishment of fast-track bonded corridors connecting east coast gateways directly into Jebel Ali Port, a bonded corridor from Sohar in Oman, and Red Sea routing options through Jeddah Islamic Port’s South Container Terminal.
