Royal Air Maroc (RAM) is making history as the first Moroccan company to transition its entire vehicle fleet to electric, a bold step that underscores its commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency.
As part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy, RAM has begun phasing out its conventional fuel-powered vehicles in favor of electric models. This initial stage involves nearly 200 electric vehicles, which will be distributed across the national airline, its subsidiary RAM Express, and airport services provider Ram Handling.
The new fleet, consisting of both compact and utility vehicles, is now operational at 13 airports across the country as well as the company’s headquarters in Casablanca. The impact is significant: an estimated annual reduction of 400 tons of CO₂, along with lower fleet management costs.
To support this transition, RAM has invested in an extensive charging infrastructure, installing 70 charging stations, most of which run on solar energy. These stations have been set up at the airline’s headquarters and key airports across Morocco. To ensure seamless intercity travel, the company has also subscribed to a network that allows vehicles to recharge at designated stations along major routes.
“We are thrilled to bring one of our key environmental commitments to life as part of our proactive approach to combating climate change. This initiative aligns with our broader CSR goals, which we will continue to strengthen in pursuit of our target of carbon neutrality by 2050,” said Hamid Addou, Chairman and CEO of Royal Air Maroc.
This effort is part of a broader environmental strategy for RAM, which has already set milestones in sustainable aviation. The airline was the first to operate a carbon-neutral flight departing from Africa and to launch a sustainable fuel-powered flight connecting Africa and Europe.
RAM’s commitment to sustainability has also been recognized through various certifications, including the CSR label from the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM) and the prestigious LEED Gold certification for two of its operational buildings—making it the first company in Africa to achieve this distinction.
