Abu Dhabi Launches First Autonomous Delivery Vehicle Pilot In Masdar City

Dubai (PlantAndEquipment.com) - The Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility), under the supervision of the Smart and Autonomous Systems Council (SASC) and in partnership with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), has launched the emirate’s first pilot programme for autonomous delivery vehicles.

Developed by K2 subsidiary Autogo and operated in collaboration with EMX, the logistics arm of 7X, the initiative also marks the issuance of Abu Dhabi’s first official license plate for a self-driving delivery vehicle.

The vehicles, powered by advanced AI and smart mobility systems, are designed to navigate urban streets and deliver orders without human intervention. The pilot in Masdar City is a step towards full-scale commercial deployment across Abu Dhabi and supports the emirate’s target for 25 per cent of all trips to be made using smart transport solutions by 2040.

By integrating autonomous delivery into its regulatory framework, Abu Dhabi aims to strengthen smart logistics, reduce congestion and carbon emissions, and enhance customer experience.

Autogo is expected to expand operations beyond Masdar City in the coming months, with plans for wider adoption across public areas and commercial zones.
