This will help facilitate faster delivery times and more efficient logistics management for the company.

This development mirrors the commitment of the Emirati multinational logistics, courier, and package delivery company to constantly enhance the movement of packages on a global level through innovation and superior customer service.”

Drone adoption in Oman

In February, the company completed the testing of its drone and roadside bot deliveries in Dubai.

The testing involved a multi-modal approach using both drones and autonomous bots and was conducted in partnership with UAE-based BARQ EV and Colombian firm KiwibotBARQ EV specialises in smart mobility and logistics solutions, while Kiwibot deals in delivery robotics.
