"This initiative also aligns with the Dubai Commercial Road Transport & Logistics Strategy 2030, along with the associated roadmap and projects aimed to double the direct contribution of the commercial road transport logistics sector to the emirate's economy to Dh16.8 billion, increase technology adoption in the sector's infrastructure by 75%, and improve operational efficiency by 10%," said Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA.

He added: "It also supports the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33) aimed to enhance Dubai's position as one of the top three economic cities in the world."

"The platform contributes to enhancing the operational efficiency of the logistics sector by integrating advanced technologies into its operations, activities, and services. Dubai is home to over 10,000 commercial transport companies, with the sector recording a compound annual growth rate of 34% over the past five years," said Al Tayer.

The goal of the platform is to enhance user experience by delivering services that are efficient, seamless, and reliable, further cementing Dubai’s position as a leading logistics hub in the region.
