Admiral Global DMCC, a leading provider of e-mobility and energy solutions in the Middle East, has awarded Hitachi Energy a significant contract to provide charging infrastructure for electric truck fleets in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The move is aimed at delivering a scalable, grid-to-plug fast-charging solution that will enable fleets of commercial trucks in the middle-mile category to recharge simultaneously.
The charging infrastructure, which is set to be operational by the end of 2023, will be used by multiple fleet operators that lease electric trucks from the Mohamed Hareb Al Otaiba Group. This will be the first-of-its-kind charging infrastructure for electric truck fleets in the region, further advancing the UAE’s commitment to a sustainable transportation future.
