UPS expands onsite fleet of e-cycles at Expo 2020 Dubai

As the Official Logistics Partner of Expo 2020, UPS is offering an extensive range of its onsite fleet with electrically-assisted cycles (eCycles).

Alan Williams, UPS vice president for Expo 2020 Dubai, said,

"UPS is bringing best practices to Expo 2020 and we’re excited to provide logistics deliveries onsite with eCycles during the event."

These new vehicles build on UPS’s growing fleet of sustainable delivery solutions that improve air quality, decrease congestion and reduce emissions. They’re also closely aligned with the country’s UAE Circular Economy Policy 2021-2031 and the UAE Green Agenda 2030.

Alan added,

"We look forward to continuing to identify more sustainable, productive and effective operations in logistics, during and after the expo,"

These eCycles provide efficient navigation through dense, highly trafficked areas. Trained riders will operate between the five UPS customer counters, country pavilions and onsite warehouse to deliver packages, documents and goods for replenishment. Zero-emission vehicles like these are a key part of UPS’s commitment to helping create a carbon neutral future.

The eCycles developed in partnership with Fernhay and Rytle are specifically designed to improve efficiency, rider ergonomics, speed and agility onsite, while also reducing environmental impact.

Luke Wake, UPS Vice President of Fleet Maintenance and Engineering, said,

"We’re optimising our fleet with innovative solutions that enhance future use cases."

"With continuous investments in alternative fuel technology, we really are moving our world forward by delivering what matters – a cleaner and safer network and planet."
