The Mercedes-Benz Actros 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.
By achieving significant fuel efficiency gains and reductions in nitrogen oxides and particulate emissions with its Euro 5 diesel engines, the acquisition also supports the company’s sustainability agenda, which aims for carbon-neutral status by 2050, as reported by AD Ports.
The delivery is expected to be completed by the end of Q2 2025. The new trucks will be integrated into Noatum Logistics’ Control Tower telematics system, a centralised platform that leverages GPS technology and onboard diagnostics.
This system allows for monitoring driver behavior and managing vehicle movements in real time. The integration will reportedly ensure enhanced efficiency, safety, and service reliability for the company’s growing regional and global customer base.
Samir Chaturvedi, Chief Executive Officer, Noatum Logistics, AD Ports Groupsaid: “At Noatum Logistics, the customer is at the centre of everything that we do. Expanding our regional fleet with more efficient and sustainable solutions is not just an investment in our operations—it’s an investment in our customers.
“Beyond increasing capacity, our growing presence in the Middle East is also part of Noatum Logistics’ growing network spanning 26 countries, allowing us to seamlessly manage regional supply chains while connecting customers across all major global markets and trade lanes.”
Last week, AD Ports announced the signing of a 10-year lease agreement with TW Steel to deliver innovative containerised fabrication solutions, container maintenance and repair services at Khalifa Port.
