Through numerous initiatives and partnerships, the Al-Futtaim Group further solidified its long-standing commitment to sustainability and its strategic focus of developing an extensive electric mobility ecosystem in the UAE, following COP28.
This ecosystem was centre-stage on the Al-Futtaim Stand at COP28, as the group showcased its formidable EV portfolio covering brands such as Polestar, Volvo Cars and BYD; alongside its EV charging technology – Charge2Moov, as well as the region’s first electric construction equipment, the Volvo ECR25 electric compact excavator and first electric two wheelers, River.
Partnerships
To empower and prepare UAE nationals for automotive jobs of the future and augment the nation’s electric mobility expertise, Al-Futtaim Automotive signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the UAE University to jointly engage in scientific and academic research activities and training programmes within the cutting-edge Electric Mobility Training Centre.
Marking another major step towards a cleaner, greener mobility future in the UAE, Al-Futtaim Automotive collaborated with ENOC Group and DEWA for the opening of a new green hydrogen station in the UAE. The company will provide four hydrogen-powered fuel cell Toyota Mirai vehicles for testing and real-world use, pioneering new research and trials for green hydrogen.
“Al-Futtaim Group and its division Al-Futtaim Automotive stepped onto the global stage to clearly convey that our journey is not just about electric vehicles; it’s about steering an entire industry towards a sustainable future,” remarked Antoine Barthes, Vice-President, Al-Futtaim Automotive.
