Operators have six months to realign their activities as per the new rule
Abu Dhabi's Integrated Transport Center announced on Wednesday that freight transporters will now need to apply for a number of new permits.
According to the Abu Dhabi Media Office, operators must now obtain permits from Asateel, the authority's integrated fleet-tracking platform that authorises the driver to transport cargo, operate a cargo vehicle, and practice professional driving.
The new rule applies to both heavy and light freight carriers, and operators will have a six-month grace period to realign their activities.
