Green fuel to power Geodis in UAE

[ March 5, 2025   //   ]

French-owned forwarding and logistics company Geodis has launched a new fleet of biofuel trucks in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The new fleet of two ten-ton and six six-ton trucks along with three 50ft tractor-trailers will serve customers in the high tech, retail, pharma, automotive and industrial sectors, providing pick-up and delivery to and from airports, warehouses and retail stores in the Middle East.

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 for the carbon intensity of subcontracted container shipping, road, and rail operations (Scope 3) by 2030; both compared to the base year 2022.

Managing director, Geodis Middle East and India Subcontinent, Chris Cahill, said: “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. By integrating sustainable transportation and technologies into our operations, we are positioning GEODIS as a leader in responsible logistics and paving the way for future growth and innovation in the region.”
