FedEx launches dangerous goods road services across five GCC markets
FedEx has introduced road transportation for eligible dangerous goods through its Middle East Road Network in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman.
FedEx said the capability is available through its Regional Economy and Regional Economy Freight services. Shipments remain subject to commodity, origin, destination and regulatory requirements.
Eligible commodities include healthcare materials, laboratory reagents, diagnostic samples, dry ice shipments, chemicals, lithium batteries and other dangerous goods. The company said the service is aimed at sectors with complex supply chains, including healthcare and life sciences, energy and petrochemicals, hi-tech, and beauty and personal care.
The services offer day-definite delivery, road transport aligned with applicable ADR requirements, customs-cleared movements, end-to-end shipment visibility and dedicated dangerous goods handling controls, covering both lightweight parcels and heavyweight palletised freight.
FedEx said its Middle East Road Network connects with its wider network through the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa hub at Dubai World Central airport. From there, the company operates trucks across GCC corridors with a dedicated fleet of TIR-registered vehicles, using GPS tracking and round-the-clock monitoring through a control tower.
