BEEAH Group, Peec Mobility, and Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTIP) have announced a pioneering partnership to electrify major vehicle fleets in Sharjah.
The agreement, signed in the presence of Her Excellency Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi at BEEAH Headquarters, marks a significant step towards sustainable transport and decarbonization in the UAE.
The initiative will repurpose vehicles using Peec’s ReMethod, a custom engineering process aimed at transitioning to EVs while minimising environmental impact.
This collaboration aligns with BEEAH’s commitment to smart, sustainable solutions and SRTIP’s role in fostering innovation.
Supported by Sharjah Roads & Transport Authority, University of Sharjah, and American University of Sharjah, the partnership also emphasises local production of repurposed vehicles and academic engagement for skill development.
The ‘ReTruck’ pilot project, involving the repurposing of a BEEAH waste collection truck, marks the first phase of this collaboration. All waste generated during the pilot will be recycled at BEEAH’s waste management complex, which includes the UAE’s first waste-to-energy plant.
This joint effort aims to establish a circular economy model, with Peec Mobility and BEEAH collaborating on recycling and repurposing materials, focusing on end-of-life batteries from EVs.
Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO of BEEAH GROUP, highlighted the initiative’s alignment with the UAE’s goal of increasing EVs to 50% of total vehicles by 2050. He emphasized the potential of Peec’s technology in transforming the mobility ecosystem in Sharjah and beyond.
Following the repurposed truck’s deployment, the partnership will explore electrifying BEEAH’s waste collection vehicles, aiming for a zero-waste and decarbonized fleet. The final ‘ReSharjah’ phase will extend the repurposing to various fleets, recycle automotive components, and launch R&D projects on sustainable and autonomous vehicles.
Zach Faizal, Founder of Peec Mobility, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, noting Peec’s commitment to sustainable mobility. He emphasized the environmental benefits of repurposing petrol vehicles into EVs, a process more efficient and cost-effective than manufacturing new EVs.
Peec Mobility, a UAE-grown startup, has pioneered the petrol-to-electric transition of vehicles, beginning with the iconic Toyota Camry taxi fleet in the UAE. The company’s scalable process is now being extended globally, aligning with net zero mobility goals.
