The Middle East & Africa region is determined to not be left behind in the global electric mobility race, with the UAE on a drive to achieve carbon-neutrality by 2050 and make 30% of the government fleet electric by 2030.
The UAE is on track and well-ahead in the green mobility transition. Al-Futtaim Automotive is the first automotive company to embrace this ambition by launching a dedicated electric-focused mobility company – Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility Company.
At Electric Vehicle Innovation Summit (EVIS), Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility Company is demonstrating the latest electric innovations and its commitment to shaping a new EV ecosystem within the country. The company is showcasing the luxury performance EV model, Polestar 2 and its own charging station – Charge2Moov on the stand. In line with its customer-first approach, the Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility Company is focused on delivering a full end-to-end solution for EV owners, from advanced vehicles to charging infrastructure to teams of accredited aftersales technicians.
Hasan Nergiz, Managing Director of Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility Company, commented at the event, “The market dynamics continue to change with electrification and carbon-zero growing from a national agenda to a prolific customer demand. Within the Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility Company, we have a portfolio of world-class brands, innovations, and end-to-end solutions to meet these demands, alongside the unparalleled service standards that customers have become accustomed to with Al-Futtaim.
“Currently our portfolio includes the Swedish luxury performance EV range – Polestar, our own charging station – Charge2Moov, and recently we also announced the launch of the world’s leading new energy vehicle brand – BYD – in the UAE. The customer response has been incredible from the market launches, which is a clear endorsement of our strategic partnerships. With more products and brands to come, we hope to continue giving customers more opportunities to be part of the green mobility revolution.”
Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility Company is exhibiting at Stand 101, Hall 3. Managing Director Hasan Nergiz took part in the event’s opening panel discussion, ‘Middle East EV Market: Electric Vehicle Market In The MENA Region – Status & Outlook’ on 29th May.
