Dubai, UAE –Dubai Taxi Company PJSC (“DTC” or the “Company”), a leading provider of comprehensive mobility solutions in Dubai, has announced a strategic partnership with Keeta, the international subsidiary of Meituan, China’s on-demand delivery service, to enhance last-mile delivery services across the emirate and pioneer next-generation logistics solutions.
The agreement was officially signed during GITEX in Dubai by Mansoor Rahma Alfalasi, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Taxi Company, and Alex Wei, Logistics General Manager of Keeta Middle East.
The collaboration aligns with DTC’s long-term growth strategy to expand its leading presence in transport and delivery markets, particularly within the fast-evolving e-commerce and Q-commerce sector. It will open new avenues for investment, deepen commercial partnerships, and increase revenue potential.
As part of the agreement, DTC will deploy an initial fleet of 150 delivery motorbikes, with plans to scale up to 500 bikes by year-end, reinforcing its commitment to serving Dubai’s rapidly growing on-demand delivery market. The initiative is expected to generate over AED 10 million in revenues during the first twelve months.

Leveraging Keeta’s dedicated technology, both companies plan to explore the integration of drones and autonomous vehicles into Keeta’s logistics operations in partnership with DTC as part of Keeta’s logistics operations, managed in partnership with DTC.
Mansoor Rahma Alfalasi, CEO of Dubai Taxi Company, commented:
” At DTC, we continue to strengthen our mobility and logistics solutions in line with Dubai’s vision for a connected and sustainable future. The UAE’s delivery and logistics market is expanding rapidly, driven by booming e-commerce and on-demand services. According to research by Statista online food delivery revenues alone projected to surpass AED 5 billion in 2025 with an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 3% over the coming years set to take this figure to close to AED6 billion by 2030. DTC is capitalizing on this growth through its expanding fleet of over 2,000 delivery bikes and advanced operational capabilities. Partnering with Keeta further diversifies our services, maximizes fleet potential, and positions DTC at the forefront of next-generation logistics, including drones and autonomous delivery technologies.
