Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Flyby, a Dubai-based smart city technologies company is joining forces with Terra, a Dubai-based sustainable last-mile delivery platform, to advance the last-mile delivery sector in the region. In the partnership, drivers will be equipped with Flyby smart delivery boxes, coupled with the latest Terra e-bikes, powered by the region’s first swappable battery network.

Flyby specialises in smart-city platforms for fleet and asset tracking, and digital out-of-home advertising. With access to real-time data, they provide insights and visibility of riders across the city, broadcasting live road safety alerts, transforming every delivery bike into a smart cloud-enabled mobile digital OOH billboard.

"This is the future of last-mile delivery," explains Saher Khattab, Head of Marketing and Business Development at Flyby. "Flyby has already revolutionised the delivery industry by turning the conventional boxes on the back of every delivery bike into a smart delivery box. By equipping the box with a computer and three edge-to-edge digital displays, we can track and monitor risky driving behaviour using a cloud-enabled system, all while showcasing programmatic advertising through our custom software - centrally controlled from anywhere in the world.”

Terra is committed to accelerating the transition towards a connected transportation ecosystem by optimisimg last-mile delivery. Their battery swapping solution marks a significant achievement as the first of its kind in the MENA region. 

“By leveraging innovative solutions and cutting-edge technologies, Terra is offering comprehensive e-mobility solutions to businesses, redefining the standards of efficiency and sustainability within the transportation sector,” notes Husam Zammar, Founder and Managing Director of Terra. “Our revolutionary battery-swapping technology enables seamless swaps in just 20 seconds. This innovation not only improves drivers' efficiency and convenience, but it also solves the issues of range anxiety and charge time in commercial electric vehicles.”

The partnership aims to bring together Flyby and Terra in a collaboration that is far more than the sum of its parts.

“Terra’s swappable battery network and e-bikes are the ideal platform to power and mobilise Flyby’s boxes, turning each delivery bike into a mobile data-gathering station that powers Flyby’s smart city solutions. Together, we’re moving to an integrated system of efficient and effective urban mobility, and a smart, sustainable solution that showcases the future of last-mile mobility,” comments Cheyenne Kamran, CEO of Flyby. “The UAE is the ideal place to showcase our product.”

Powered by Terra's battery swapping stations, the partnership addresses the commercial and economic requirements of aggregators, fleet providers, and nearly 100,000 delivery riders across the UAE. With access to a city-wide network of strategically deployed battery stations, riders will always be close to a battery swapping station.
