AD Ports Group's Noatum Logistics acquires 152 new long-haul trucks
The fleet expansion comes in response to Noatum Logistics' robust growth trajectory and strategic focus on managing customers' supply chains across the region, while advancing its commitment to environmental sustainability.
The advanced trucks will boost Noatum Logistics' regional transport capacity by 6,000 tonnes and grow its fleet from approximately 450 vehicles to over 600.
While capable of handling containerised, reefer, and loose cargo, the vehicles will support customers across key industry sectors, including energy, polymers, food and FMCG, automotive, pharma and healthcare, and defence.
Furthermore, by generating significant fuel efficiency gains and reductions in Nitrogen Oxide and particulate emissions via its Euro 5 diesel engines, the acquisition also aligns with the company's sustainability agenda, which includes achieving Carbon Neutral status by 2050.
With the delivery expected to be completed by the end of Q2 2025, the new trucks will be integrated into Noatum Logistics' state-of-the-art Control Tower telematics system, a centralised platform that leverages GPS technology and onboard diagnostics, thereby allowing for monitoring of driver behaviour and management of vehicle movements in real-time.

ADQ acquires majority stake in top logistics group Aramex
ADQ, an active sovereign investor focused on critical infrastructure and global supply chains based in Abu Dhabi, has completed the acquisition of a majority stake in leading logistics group Aramex, thus increasing its shareholding in the company to 63.16% when combined with the shareholding held by AD Ports Group, in which ADQ holds a majority stake. Voluntary tender offer for Aramex submitted by its wholly owned indirect subsidiary Q Logistics Holding has become unconditional following receipt of all required regulatory and internal approvals, it stated. ADQ said the acquisition of a controlling stake in Aramex strengthens its position in the services layer of the logistics ecosystem, which includes express delivery, freight forwarding, third-party logistics, and warehousing. These functions are critical to enabling seamless trade flows and linking transport infrastructure to end users. This follows the receipt of all required antitrust and foreign direct investment regulatory approvals, as well as statutory exemptions and waivers from relevant governmental authorities within and outside the UAE, along with the satisfaction (or waiver) of all other conditions to the offer, it stated. With operations in over 65 countries, a leading trucking network in the GCC, and 800,000 sqm of global warehousing, Aramex brings scale, capabilities, and geographic reach. Its integration into ADQ's portfolio accelerates the development of a fully integrated, multimodal logistics platform that supports regional trade and economic growth, it added. Mansour AlMulla, Deputy Group Chief Executive Officer of ADQ, said: "ADQ's majority shareholding in Aramex marks a strategic step toward advancing our vision to build a globally integrated logistics platform anchored in the UAE." "Aramex brings strong capabilities and operational depth that complement our existing investments across air, sea, and land infrastructure. Its addition enhances the services layer of the logistics value chain and supports the development of end-to-end trade and supply chain solutions. We believe Aramex is well positioned to unlock long-term value through greater integration with ADQ's broader portfolio, and we are confident in its ability to deliver sustainable growth," he noted. Aramex will become part of ADQ's Transport & Logistics cluster, which plays a central role in advancing multimodal connectivity and reinforcing Abu Dhabi's position as a global transport and logistics hub, he added. -TradeArabia News Service Copyright 2024 Al Hilal Publishing and Marketing Group Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
