Emirates SkyCargo invests in hydrogen-powered trucks

Emirates SkyCargo, in collaboration with freight forwarder and haulier Allied Transport Company, is all set to add five hydrogen-powered trucks to its fleet by the first quarter of 2026 as it seeks to improve the environmental performance of its ground operations. The carrier’s existing fleet of over 60 trucks link Dubai World Central and Dubai International Airport as well as serving the wider domestic region. The new hydrogen-powered trucks will have a capacity of 28 tonnes – the same as SkyCargo’s current diesel-powered vehicles – and will emit substantially less CO2. They have a range of up to 700 km on a full tank and will refuel at two stations in Dubai. In addition, the new vehicles are tractor units that are compatible with a variety of trailers, enabling them to accommodate various types of cargo.
