UAE’s First Battery Swapping Station for Bikes Opens in Abu Dhabi

Adnoc Distribution and Terra Tech Ltd launched the UAE’s first battery-swapping station for electric motorbikes in Abu Dhabi, located at one of Adnoc Distribution’s flagship service stations. The facility is designed to support last mile delivery operations by allowing riders to exchange depleted batteries for fully charged units within seconds, reducing downtime and emissions.

The initiative aligns with Abu Dhabi’s goal of having 50% of vehicles electric by 2040 and the UAE’s objective to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The partners said the model will help thousands of delivery bikers in Abu Dhabi reduce costs associated with fuel and charging downtime, while cutting the sector’s carbon footprint.
