This aligns perfectly with our goals for COP28 and beyond, as we focus on turning aspirations into tangible achievements, propelling sustainable mobility to the forefront of the UAE’s transportation landscape and beyond.”
Key features of the CHRGR platform:
- Modular Solar Charging Points: The mobile, plug-and-play charging points support up to 30 kWp of photovoltaic panels each, allowing rapid deployment without the need for civil works.
- Efficient Battery Exchange System: CHRGR’s dedicated mobile app facilitates a seamless experience for last-mile delivery drivers, enabling them to locate charging points, swap and reserve batteries, ensuring uninterrupted service.
- Operational Efficiency and Environmental Impact: Beyond operational enhancements, CHRGR significantly reduces noise and air pollution, delivering cost reductions for drivers and fleets, setting a new standard for health-focused and environmentally friendly transport solutions.
EnerTech’s commitment extends beyond the launch, with plans to establish manufacturing facilities for CHRGR components in the UAE. This aligns with the National In-Country Value (ICV) strategy, supporting local industrial growth, economic diversification, and technological innovation in line with the UAE’s sustainability objectives.
