Dubai RTA Presents Logisty a Revolutionary Freight Transport Platform. Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), in collaboration with the digital freight platform TruKKer, has introduced a groundbreaking logistics solution called ‘Logisty.’ This innovative platform is designed to transform the freight transportation sector in the emirate by offering comprehensive tools to book, track, and manage commercial transport services.
Redefining Logistics in Dubai
‘Logisty’ aims to empower both businesses and individuals by providing seamless management of logistics and commercial vehicle fleets. With features such as on-demand booking and real-time tracking, the platform is set to revolutionize how freight transportation operates, creating stronger links between customers and commercial transport service providers.
According to Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA, the launch of ‘Logisty’ aligns with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to elevate Dubai position as a global hub for finance, business, and logistics.
It also contributes to the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), which aims to position Dubai as one of the top three economic cities worldwide.
Driving Dubai Logistics Ambitions
The platform is an integral part of the Dubai Commercial Road Transport & Logistics Strategy 2030. This ambitious roadmap aims to:
- Double the logistics sector direct contribution to Dubai economy to AED 16.8 billion.
- Enhance technology integration in the sector by 75%.
- Improve operational efficiency by 10%.
This strategy underscores Dubai commitment to innovation and sustainable growth within its thriving logistics sector, which has witnessed a compound annual growth rate of 34% over the past five years.
AI-Powered Features for Advanced Logistics
A standout feature of ‘Logisty’ is its AI-powered CBM Calculator, which allows users to estimate shipment volumes by simply uploading photos or videos. This cutting-edge tool ensures accuracy and efficiency in logistics planning, streamlining operations for both businesses and consumers.
The platform also incorporates other state-of-the-art technologies, offering tailored solutions to meet the dynamic needs of freight and logistics services.
These features are particularly significant as Dubai continues to solidify its reputation as a key logistics hub, with over 351,000 registered commercial vehicles and a sector that supports more than 242,000 jobs.
Accelerating Economic Growth
The logistics sector has been a cornerstone of Dubai economic growth, particularly with the rise of e-commerce in recent years. In 2023 alone, the transport and storage sector contributed AED 31.4 billion to Dubai GDP, representing 42.8% of the emirate’s economic output.
Dubai strategic initiatives, including the 17 projects outlined in the Commercial Road Transport & Logistics Strategy 2030, focus on leveraging digital technologies, supporting high-potential companies, and adopting modern, high-performance vehicles. These initiatives aim to enhance the sector’s competitiveness on a global scale.
