Emirates SkyCargo, in partnership with Allied Transport Company, is set to integrate hydrogen-powered trucks into its existing fleet. These vehicles, currently under production, are scheduled to be introduced by the first quarter of 2026.
The Emirates SkyCargo fleet includes more than 60 trucks and plays a vital role in facilitating cargo movement between Dubai World Central (DWC), Dubai International Airport (DXB), and the broader domestic market.
The introduction of five hydrogen-powered trucks represents a significant step in the airline’s progressive shift towards alternative fuel options.
Matching the load capabilities of their diesel counterparts, the hydrogen-powered trucks can transport up to 28 tonnes of cargo. Refuelling will take place at two specialised hydrogen stations in Dubai—Expo City and Al Qudra DEWA—with a full tank offering a range of up to 700 kilometres.
Badr Abbas, Divisional Senior Vice President at Emirates SkyCargo, commented, “Incorporating hydrogen-powered trucks into our operations is a notable advancement in our efforts to reduce ground-level emissions. We remain committed to identifying further alternative fuel solutions and adopting technologies that lessen our environmental impact, while continuing to deliver the premium service our customers rely on.”
Ali Bin Beyat, Chief Executive Officer of Allied Transport Company, stated, “Together with Emirates SkyCargo, we are deploying hydrogen-powered trucks across the UAE—particularly in Dubai—to contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable logistics sector. This initiative directly supports Emirates SkyCargo’s environmental ambitions and aligns with the UAE’s broader green vision.”
