dcab stands for delivery cab · driverless cab · drone cab — robots that deliver, drive themselves, and will one day fly.
Your delivery fleet. No drivers. No headaches.
dcab is building a fully managed autonomous delivery fleet for delivery platforms and pharmacy chains — like the third-party driver fleets you contract today, but with robots. dcab's model is to act as the operator of record, securing the permits and running the operations, so you pay per delivery and nothing else.
The fleet partner you already know how to work with.
Platforms don't own their driver fleets — they contract fleet companies. dcab is that company, with robots. One contract, a working fleet in your zones, and a per-delivery rate you can plan around.
Zero capex
No robot purchases, no assets on your balance sheet. The fleet stays on dcab's books; the deliveries are yours.
Zero operational burden
dcab is built to operate as the operator of record: permits, charging, maintenance, insurance and monitoring all sit with dcab, not with your team.
Flexible contracts
Scale robot count up or down with seasonal demand. Pay per delivery or a monthly per-robot subscription.
Platform-neutral fleet
dcab is designed as a platform-neutral fleet — the same robots can serve multiple platforms, which raises utilization and lowers cost per delivery.
Coverage where no one else goes
Underserved zones and secondary cities across the GCC where no autonomous solution exists yet — the deliveries hardest to staff with drivers.
Pharmacy-grade delivery
Temperature-controlled compartments and a documented chain of custody, designed for pharmacy and medical delivery and deployed only under the relevant health authority authorisation.
| Building in-house | The dcab model | |
|---|---|---|
| Capex | Robots purchased and depreciated on your books | None — pay per delivery or per robot |
| Licensing | Your permits, your regulatory workload | dcab is the operator of record |
| Maintenance & charging | Your hubs, staff and spare parts | Included — dcab hubs handle it all |
| Scalability | Fixed fleet; idle robots in low season | Flex up or down with demand |
| Time to launch | 12–24 months of build-out | Target of weeks for a scoped pilot |
Three steps to a running fleet.
Consultation & zone mapping
dcab maps your delivery zones, volumes and peak hours, then proposes fleet size, routes and a per-delivery rate.
dcab deploys and operates
No robot is deployed until it is certified, insured and permitted for its zone. dcab operates the charging and maintenance hub for the pilot zone and handles the dispatch integration with your platform.
You pay for what you use
Per delivery, or a monthly per-robot subscription. Volume and performance reporting comes standard.
Start with 5 robots. 90 days. No commitment.
Pick one zone, dcab deploys a five-robot pilot and reports weekly on completion rates, delivery times and cost per drop. Extend, scale, or walk away.
Built for the deliveries that repeat.
Built in Dubai. Run by the book.
The name says the plan: delivery cabs that carry orders today, driverless cabs that need no one at the wheel, and drone cabs that will one day fly. dcab is building the first, will operate the second, and is planning toward the third.
Asked all the time
How fast can a pilot launch?
Target of weeks, not months — zone mapping first, then deployment through dcab's Dubai operations. The 5-robot, 90-day pilot has no long-term commitment.
How do we integrate dispatch?
dcab's operations team connects dispatch to your existing order flow during pilot setup — no engineering project on your side.
Who is liable for the robots?
dcab. dcab operates as the operator of record and insures the fleet under its own policies — liability does not pass to the partner.
What does it cost?
Per delivery, or a monthly per-robot subscription. Rates depend on zone and volume — the consultation produces a firm quote.
What happens when a robot fails mid-shift?
dcab's model includes monitoring, a standby unit to cover the route, and repairs at the zone's operations hub. Uptime commitments are part of the pilot agreement.
