Emarat installs rest areas for delivery drivers across stations
The retailer has partnered with delivery app talabat to install self-sufficient smart boxes to provide riders with easily accessible locations to rest.
Emarat will install solar-powered rest areas across its service station network as part of a new partnership with everyday delivery app talabat.
The announcement is part of the platform’s annual Summer Together rider initiatives and is an extension of the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) first solar-powered rest areas. These sites were launched last year with the Joint Committee of Traffic Safety and the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation to provide delivery drivers accessible locations to rest, hydrate, and recharge between orders.
The self-sufficient smart boxes operate 24/7 and are equipped with rechargeable batteries, completely eliminating fuel consumption and reducing CO2 emissions.
These rest areas will be established in Abu Kadra and Nad Al Hammar in Dubai, Al Sunbulah and Al Qaryah in Sharjah, Al Jurf in Ajman, Khuzam in Ras Al Khaimah, and Al Qurm station in Fujairah.
Through these areas, Emarat will provide riders with noise-free, seated, and air-conditioned locations across the country. These are also equipped with water dispensers, mobile recharge stations, as well as a built-in air pump in the shaded exterior structure to check tyre pressure.
