Emirates National Oil Company Group (ENOC) has teamed up with Drive Terra (TERRA), a pioneer in battery swapping stations for last-mile delivery businesses, to establish battery swapping stations across the UAE.
The partnership aims to transform the UAE’s e-bike infrastructure and support Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiative by establishing one of the region’s largest battery swapping networks. The network will boost e-bike adoption, reinforcing the nation’s commitment to a sustainable future.
“We are delighted to partner with Drive Terra to advance sustainable and innovative smart transportation solutions. The deployment of the battery swapping stations significantly advances sustainable last-mile delivery, benefiting communities and contributing to global sustainability efforts.”
“Our collaboration with ENOC is an exciting step toward transforming the EV landscape in the MENA region. We developed MENA’s leading solution for battery swapping services and 2024 has been a milestone year for TERRA, highlighted by our strategic partnership with ENOC,” added Husam Zammar, TERRA’s Founder.
This partnership highlights ENOC and Drive Terra’s mutual objective to drive a sustainable future in the MENA region. This Batteries-as-a-Service model streamlines the e-bike experience, eliminating the hurdles of high battery costs, lengthy charging times, and range limitations.
Terra, established in 2021, stands out as the first in the MENA region to introduce battery-swapping stations, a recharging platform to accommodate electric vehicles, which allows riders to seamlessly exchange batteries at their extensive network of swapping stations while optimizing last-mile delivery and fostering environmental sustainability.
