JAFZA opens vehicle hub to improve automotive logistics

Gallega Global Logistics is launching a 1 million square foot finished vehicles hub in Jebel Ali Free Zone, set to open in May 2026. The facility will handle up to 6,500 vehicles and is designed to ease bottlenecks in automotive logistics by offering secure storage for cars delayed at ports, in transit, or awaiting distribution.

CEO Sara Rachid said the facility is built to meet rising demand in automotive logistics, while Kareem Bahgat said it creates a single, streamlined system for managing vehicle flows.

The move directly targets key gaps in the automotive supply chain. With one centralized hub offering storage, inspection, and transport support, companies can reduce delays, lower handling costs, and avoid relying on multiple vendors.

This improves turnaround time for vehicle deliveries and helps dealers maintain steady inventory levels despite disruptions. The hub includes real-time vehicle tracking at VIN level, a light pre-delivery inspection setup, and 24/7 security, ensuring better visibility and control over vehicle movement. It also supports export preparation, cutting down extra steps in the logistics process.
