‘The Undelivered’ Becomes One of Aramex’s Most Talked About Campaigns

This will contribute to enabling maximum convenience, enhancing operational speed
and efficiency, reducing cost, as well as driving sustainability.

The agreement further includes numerous provisions, all of which are aimed at paving
the way for green logistics within KAEC, emphasising its commitment to fostering
innovation and sustainability.

It provides numerous benefits for all the stakeholders involved, including improved
environmental sustainability and enhanced logistical capabilities.

The first multi-compartment robot used for logistics operations, custom-designed by
Aramex through the support of its partner Ottonomy, allows for multiple deliveries per
trip, thus optimizing overall operations and paving the way for cheaper delivery costs.

Moreover, robot deliveries follow optimal routes, avoid traffic and manoeuvre through
congested urban areas with minimal disruption, significantly improving delivery speed
and efficiency.

In addition, since Bots are electrically powered and emit zero emissions, their
integration would substantially lower carbon footprints.

Through the flexibility of scaling up and down the Bot fleet, it can additionally adapt to
both peak and off-peak seasons. It also complies with traffic regulations with the use of
advanced sensors and algorithms to efficiently identify obstructions and prevent
collisions.

Mansour Al-Salem, Managing Director of Emaar, The Economic City, said: “We are
pleased to sign this agreement with Aramex, a leading courier firm in the Middle East.

" We are confident that this strategic alliance will contribute to achieving the goals of the
Saudi Vision 2030, which serves as a blueprint for fostering sustainability and
innovation.

"Furthermore, this agreement marks a significant stride towards advancing green
logistics within KAEC as well as reflects our steadfast commitment to reducing
environmental impact and fostering sustainability."

KAEC, places a high priority on reducing waste, leveraging green technologies and
minimising carbon emissions. Shipping and transportation both contribute to pollution
and environmental harm, and sustainable logistics help mitigate these effects.

Utilising eco-friendly fuels, following better routes and using cleaner vehicles, in line with
Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, will assist in this mission. Bot deliveries by Aramex
minimise carbon footprints as they operate entirely on electricity and produce zero
emissions.
