Careem has entered a new partnership with Jameel Motors, the exclusive distributor of Geely Commercial Vehicles‘ Farizon electric vehicles (EVs) to introduce electric commercial vans and trucks into its expanding delivery network across the UAE.
Under the agreement, Farizon’s advanced EVs will be evaluated for integration into Careem’s middle-mile delivery ecosystem, which already serves more than 20,000 merchants, including restaurants, retail outlets, and small businesses. By deploying zero-emission vehicles, Careem aims to reduce carbon output, optimise operational efficiency, and promote sustainable growth across the UAE’s fast-evolving logistics sector.
“Introducing Farizon’s EVs into our delivery operations allows us to offer merchants cleaner, more efficient logistics solutions that benefit both their businesses and the environment,” said Bassel Alnahlaoui, Chief Business Officer at Careem. “Our goal at Careem is to embed sustainability across every part of our mobility ecosystem — from rides and deliveries to commercial fleets — to help cities move more efficiently and responsibly.”
Careem’s partnership with Jameel Motors reflects its determination to transform its delivery operations through smart, scalable electrification. With the UAE government championing clean transport initiatives, the introduction of Farizon vehicles supports both economic and environmental sustainability, added Jameel Motors.
Farizon’s product lineup, including its SuperVan and MilePro EV platforms, is built for logistics and fleet applications, offering extended driving range, high load capacity, and low total cost of ownership — key performance factors for delivery operations serving the UAE’s dense urban networks.
“Our partnership with Careem marks a key step toward sustainable mobility in the UAE,” said Yousef Hussein, Chief Commercial Officer Mobility, Jameel Motors. “By combining Farizon’s advanced EV technology with Careem’s extensive merchant network, we’re helping thousands of SMEs reduce their carbon footprint and operating costs while supporting the UAE’s long-term sustainability vision.”
The UAE’s commercial vehicle sector is expected to grow from USD 2.61 billion in 2025 to USD 3.95 billion by 2030, driven by the rapid adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles, which are projected to grow at a 35% annual rate. This partnership aligns directly with the UAE’s National Electric Fleet Vehicles Policy, which aims for electric and hybrid vehicles to make up 10% of all vehicles by 2030 and 50% by 2050.
The UAE’s EV charging network is also expanding rapidly — set to triple from 370 to 1,000 stations by 2025 — providing the infrastructure needed to support electric fleet operations.
By integrating EVs into its delivery ecosystem, Careem is not only contributing to national clean transport goals but also helping its merchant partners achieve their own sustainability objectives while improving cost efficiency.
From ride-hailing to delivery, Careem is embedding environmental responsibility and energy efficiency into its operations, ensuring that its platform continues to play a leading role in helping cities move smarter.
