SANY delivers electric heavy trucks to Noatum Logistics

SANY’s authorised UAE dealer EGME has delivered the first batch of 110 electric heavy trucks to Noatum Logistics, a member of AD Ports Group and global transport and logistics provider, in Abu Dhabi. The delivery represents AD Ports Group’s first introduction of electric heavy trucks into port operations, marking a significant step toward more sustainable and efficient port logistics in the region. The handover ceremony provided an opportunity for both parties to discuss the adaptability, operational efficiency and future application of electric heavy trucks in port environments. Following the successful delivery, Noatum Logistics signed an additional purchase plan for 300 further electric heavy trucks, reflecting strong confidence in SANY’s products and solutions. The milestone represents a major breakthrough for SANY in the Middle East market.
