Emaar The Economic City partners with Aramex to endorse logistics sustainability in KAEC

Mubasher: Saudi Arabia’s Emaar The Economic City has teamed up with the UAE-based Aramex to advance sustainable logistics solutions in King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC), according to a press release. The agreement aims to minimise environmental impact and boost operational efficiency, as Emaar The Economic City and Aramex will implement advanced and innovative logistics solutions in multiple phases. The first phase entails the deployment of Aramex Bot deliveries in specific areas like Baylasan and Marina, in a move that will allow the introduction of diverse technologies. Therefore, this will play a role in cost reduction in addition to enhancement of operational speed and efficiency, while driving sustainability. Through the support of its partner Ottonomy, Aramex offers the first multi-compartment robot that is used for logistics operations and allows for multiple deliveries per trip to optimise overall operations and pave the way for cheaper delivery costs. Bots are electrically powered and emit zero emissions; therefore, their integration would substantially lower carbon footprints. In an interview with Mubasher during Seamless Saudi Arabia 2023, Aramex said they were back then integrating automated delivery through robots that can operate up to 12 shipments and carry up to 80 kilograms.
