Abu Dhabi Announces New Permits for Freight Transport

Abu Dhabi's Integrated Transport Center announced on Wednesday that freight transporters will now need to apply for several new permits.

According to the Abu Dhabi Media Office, operators must now obtain permits from Asateel, the authority's integrated fleet-tracking platform that authorises the driver to transport cargo, operate a cargo vehicle, and practice professional driving.
