EVIQ, Hala Auto and DSV join forces to accelerate the electrification of Saudi Arabia’s logistics sector

Saudi Arabian logistics companies EVIQ, Hala Auto and DSV have joined forces to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in the country's logistics sector. The three companies are creating an integrated commercial ecosystem to provide electric fleet solutions, dedicated charging infrastructure and logistics expertise.

Hala Auto will supply electric cargo vans and trucks tailored to DSV's operational needs, while EVIQ will develop charging infrastructure specifically designed for DSV's fleet. EVIQ will also give DSV access to its broader charging network, offering additional charging options beyond the dedicated depots.

As part of the partnership, DSV will begin electrifying a portion of its fleet in Riyadh. This collaboration aims to lower the total cost of ownership, reduce vehicle maintenance expenses and lower emissions from the fleet, all in support of Saudi Arabia's environmental goals. By combining their complementary capabilities, the companies hope to demonstrate how private-sector collaboration can drive EV adoption in the logistics market.

EVIQ's CEO Mohammad Gazzaz emphasized the importance of a tailored charging infrastructure designed around business operations. Hala Auto's CEO agreed, stating that the transition to sustainable mobility must be practical and aligned with companies' real needs.

Walid El Naameh, Director and Country Manager of DSV in Saudi Arabia, highlighted the importance of this partnership for DSV's sustainability journey. The three-part ecosystem includes EVIQ's EV infrastructure and network, Hala Auto's electric fleet solutions and DSV's logistics operations. Together, they aim to create a commercially viable pathway for logistics companies to transition to electric mobility, contributing to Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and sustainability objectives.
