DP World expands GCC trucking fleet
DP World has acquired 700 new trucks to strengthen its road freight network across the Gulf Cooperation Council, adding capacity for domestic, cross-border, first-mile, middle-mile and last-mile cargo movements.
More capacity for regional cargo flows
The fleet is expected to support up to 35,000 truck trips per month and will handle both containerised and non-containerised cargo. The trucks are being deployed progressively and will complement DP World’s existing regional network, which now supports around 3,000 truck movements per day.
Building around disruption and demand
The investment follows DP World’s recent expansion of bonded corridors, including fast-track links from east coast gateways into Jebel Ali Port and a bonded corridor from Sohar in Oman. The company has also used Red Sea routing via Jeddah Islamic Port’s South Container Terminal, moving more than 350,000 TEUs overland after maritime disruption.
Ahmad Yousef Al-Hassan, CEO and Managing Director, DP World GCC, said the investment is aimed at scaling the company’s multimodal network as regional demand grows.
Raveen Guliani, COO Logistics, DP World GCC, said customers want more certainty, reliability and efficiency. The new trucks meet Euro V emissions standards, with green-energy vehicles to be explored in the future.
