Abu Dhabi has taken a significant leap toward sustainable urban mobility with the launch of the UAE’s first battery-swapping station for electric motorbikes. This groundbreaking initiative, a collaboration between Adnoc Distribution and Terra Tech Ltd., is set to transform last-mile delivery operations by making them cleaner, faster, and more cost-efficient. Located at one of Adnoc’s flagship service stations, the facility allows delivery riders to swap depleted batteries for fully charged ones in seconds, drastically reducing downtime and emissions. This innovation aligns with Abu Dhabi’s ambitious goal of having 50% of vehicles electric by 2040 and the UAE’s broader target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Husam Zammar, founder of Terra Tech Ltd., emphasized the strategic importance of the partnership, stating that it provides access to Adnoc’s extensive service station network, ensuring widespread adoption of the technology. The initiative not only reduces operational costs for delivery riders but also significantly lowers the sector’s carbon footprint. By integrating battery-swapping technology into Adnoc’s nationwide infrastructure, the project sets the stage for a nationwide rollout, paving the way for greener cities, efficient delivery ecosystems, and smarter transport solutions. This move exemplifies how traditional energy networks are evolving to support a cleaner, technology-driven future.
