The expansion from 14 units in December 2024 to 146 units as of October 2025 is expected to reduce diesel consumption and cut greenhouse gas emissions by over 10%, equivalent to removing 2,255 cars from the road annually.<\/p>\n
\u201cElectrifying our port operations is a strategic priority that supports UAE\u2019s net zero 2050 ambitions,\u201d said Abdulla Bin Damithan, chief executive and managing director of DP World GCC.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy scaling our electric fleet and transitioning to cleaner energy at Jebel Ali Port, we are building future-ready and more resilient supply chains that benefit our customers and the communities we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n
The eITVs play a critical role in shuttling containers between quay cranes, yard stacks and gates. The upgraded fleet features 35 diesel vehicles converted to electric by DP World\u2019s in-house engineering team, alongside over 100 new electric vehicles.<\/p>\n
In addition to the eITVs, DP World has introduced 11 electric empty container handlers to move and stack empty containers.<\/p>\n
With maritime transport responsible for around 3% of global transport emissions, scaling electric fleets at major hubs like Jebel Ali is a vital step toward decarbonising trade. Without such action, emissions could increase to 130% of 2008 levels by 2050, warns the UN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
