Stellantis and Siemens are working to upscale EV last mile delivery infrastructure in MENA: Netherlands-headquartered automotive company Stellantis inked an MoU with Siemens to work together on the electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure needed for delivery services in MENA, a Stellantis statement said last Thursday.

Who’s doing what: The agreement will see Stellantis provide electric delivery vehicles and “EV charging technologies,” the statement read. Meanwhile, Siemens will work on developing EV tech, including software that caters to the needs of EV consumers in the region, and EV- related retail logistics solutions for electric vehicles customers in the region, including last mile delivery services.

Greenifying delivery fleets in MENA seems to be on the rise: Talabat UAE, for instance, inked an MoU in July with Emirati mobility solutions company Motoboy to trial EVs for last-mile delivery services in Dubai, according to a company statement. UAE EV manufacturer Barq EV also introduced EVs designed specifically to cater to delivery needs in the MENA region, the National reported in March.
