This report consolidates insights from participants at a UICCA Policy Hack held on electrifying last-mile delivery vehicles in the UAE. Hosted in partnership with Amazon and 7X, this event brought together 53 representatives from logistics companies, EV charger operators, fleet operators, UAE ministries, and energy and transport authorities. Policy Hack participants identified blockages and potential solutions to electrifying their operations, including, creating dedicated charging zones for commercial EVs, simplifying electrification policies and approvals processes created at the emirate and national level, identifying circular solutions to battery recycling, and implementing incentives for EV adoption.
This report forms a crucial foundation for further collaboration and sets a path forward for logistics companies to electrify their delivery fleets.
