Dubai's RTA Invites Tenders for Electric Delivery Bike Charging Stations

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has called for tenders to develop battery charging and swapping stations for electric delivery bikes across the emirate.

The initiative aims to support the growing demand for sustainable, eco-friendly transport solutions in the delivery sector.

The proposed stations will be strategically placed in high-demand delivery hubs, including areas such as Al Barsha, Al Rigga, Zabeel, and Al Mamzar. These locations were selected to optimize accessibility and support efficient operations for delivery companies.

The RTA emphasized that the project is designed not only to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding delivery industry but also to improve safety standards and promote greener alternatives.

“We are encouraging delivery companies to adopt sustainable and eco-friendly transport solutions while improving safety standards in the rapidly expanding delivery sector,”

said Ahmed Mahboob, CEO of RTA’s Licensing Agency.

The delivery sector in Dubai has experienced significant growth in recent years, with more than 40,000 registered bikes now in operation. This new initiative aligns with the city’s broader commitment to sustainability and aims to reduce the environmental impact of traditional delivery methods.

By providing accessible charging infrastructure, RTA hopes to accelerate the transition to electric bikes, offering a practical and sustainable operational model for delivery companies across the emirate.
