GEODIS RAMPS UP SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS WITH A NNEW BIOFUEL TRUCK FLEET IN THE UAE
March 7, 2025

GEODIS has launched a new fleet comprising eleven Euro 4 and Euro 6 biofuel trucks in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as part of its sustainability initiatives.

globally while further maintaining operational efficiency and delivering sustainable solutions for customers.

 

GEODIS has set targets of a 42% reduction in the GHG emissions generated by its fleets of vehicles and its buildings (Scopes 1 and 2) and a 25% drop in the carbon intensity of subcontracted container shipping, road, and rail operations (Scope 3) by 2030 both compared to the base year 2022.

 

"The current initiative in the UAE aligns with GEODIS' broader strategy to commit to a process of such reductions through a science-based approach (Science Based Targets - SBT), in line with the goal of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5° C."

 

The new fleet, consisting of two ten-ton and six six-ton trucks, along with three fifty-foot tractor-trailers, will utilize biofuel. Biofuel emits less CO2 compared to diesel.

 

The fleet will serve customers in the high-tech, retail, pharma, automotive and industrial sectors, providing freight transportation services from pick-up and delivery to and from airport locations, warehouses, and retail stores in the Middle East.

 

"Relying on a new fleet of trucks is a critical component of our growth strategy for the Middle East region. This initiative not only underscores our commitment to sustainability but also enhances our capacity to meet the evolving needs of our customers," said Chris Cahill, managing director, GEODIS Middle East and India Subcontinent. 

 

He added that by integrating sustainable transportation and technologies into our operations, GEODIS is positioning itself as a leader in responsible logistics and paving the way for future growth and innovation in the region.

 

GEODIS noted that over recent years, it has made significant investments in the Middle East region by expanding its presence in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain.

 

GEODIS offers a full range of end-to-end supply chain solutions from freight, customs brokerage, and contract logistics to project logistics throughout these countries.
