The Yutong electric platform is tailored to the operational demands of the UAE
United Diesel, a member of the Al Rostamani Group, has partnered with Yutong to transition toward more efficient, environmentally friendly operations. As the logistics industry undergoes significant transformation to meet environmental and operational challenges, United Diesel’s initiative marks a critical development in aligning commercial transportation with the UAE’s sustainability goals.
The launch of this ground-breaking initiative brought together leaders from top logistics companies and FMCG firms; representatives from sustainability-focused organizations; and key logistics-related media, emphasizing the growing importance of sustainable practices in the region’s logistics sector, according to a press communication.
Yutong Group is a global leader in the electric commercial vehicles industry, with over 10% market share and 220,000 vehicles sold across more than 100 countries, including Europe, Latin America, Africa, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East.
Electric Trucks: A game-changer for UAE logistics
Despite comprising a smaller portion of the automotive sector, commercial vehicles contribute disproportionately to emissions, making them a key area for change. United Diesel’s introduction of Yutong’s electric trucks directly addresses this challenge by providing practical, scalable solutions for fleet operators.
The Yutong electric platform is tailored to the operational demands of the UAE. With fast-charging capabilities, adaptability to high temperatures, and energy-efficient designs, these trucks are ideal for last-mile delivery and warehouse transport. Their advanced features enable businesses to reduce emissions, cut operational costs, and ensure reliable transportation for critical logistics needs.
“United Diesel’s efforts demonstrate how sustainability can align with practical business outcomes, supporting the UAE’s journey toward a more efficient and resilient economy,” stated Mazen Dalati, CEO, Al Rostamani Group.
“The introduction of Yutong’s electric trucks by United Diesel also aligns with the UAE’s broader sustainability objectives, including the Net Zero 2050 initiative. By enabling businesses to adopt electric logistics, this platform plays a vital role in shaping a competitive, resilient economy that benefits all stakeholders,” commented David Sawiras, General Manager, United Diesel.

Electric logistics also introduces advanced connected technologies, improving fleet management and operational visibility. These innovations deliver tangible benefits to all stakeholders, from logistics operators and businesses to policymakers working on sustainable urban planning.
