UAE-based smart mobility provider Barq EV launches its business in the UAE, introducing environmentally friendly electric delivery vehicles and services that will contribute to enhancing the last-mile delivery experience.

The company aims to address the delivery challenges of several industries, such as e-commerce, logistics, and transportation of medical supplies through its electric vehicles.

The initiative comes in line with the UAE’s efforts to support the growth of the logistics, transport, and e-commerce sectors across the country.

“We aim to be at the forefront of the environmentally friendly mobility sectors in the region, where mobility is a major part of the company’s strategy, and an essential factor to enhance the green footprint within urban developments,” said Ahmed Suhail Faris Al Mazroui, co-founder of Barq EV.

“Due to its advanced infrastructure, the UAE has been and continues to be an incubator for innovation and a leader in harnessing all that is promising to maintain its role in the field of sustainable mobility and improve the health and safety of all members of society,” he added.

Al Mazroui also noted the UAE government’s support for start-ups and emerging companies by providing the ideal business environment and technology incubators, as well as fostering the appropriate infrastructure to operate.

“The UAE, in order to achieve its vision and directives of its wise leadership in preserving the environment and implementing the concepts of sustainable development, supports all global efforts to promote the transformation towards an environmentally friendly mobility system. The UAE continues its efforts to tackle environmental challenges and improve the quality of life of people around the world, which is evident today in its success in significantly reducing emissions related to the transport sector through pioneering plans and initiatives that cover all related areas,” said Abdullah Abu Sheikh, co-founder and CEO of Barq EV.

Diversifying the transportation modes in the UAE will support its efforts to advance sustainable development as well as limit adverse effects from climate change, Abu Sheikh noted.
