AED 30 million investment earmarked
Faraday Future (FF), a California-based global AI electric vehicle manufacturer, is launching its first operational base in the Middle East in Ras Al Khaimah.
This set-up is part of the company’s strategic global expansion, signalling a major step in regional EV transformation while reinforcing the emirate’s position as a hub for advanced, sustainable mobility solutions.
The new facility—located in Al Hamra, Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ)—will span approximately 108,000sqft and house an office, engineering workshop, and operational hub. Backed by an initial investment of AED 30mn, the project is expected to generate 200 direct jobs across engineering, logistics, operations, and customer support.
“This facility represents a tangible start for both FF and FX in the region,” remarked Matthias Aydt, Global Co-CEO, Faraday Future. “Ras Al Khaimah offers the right infrastructure, visionary leadership, and regional connectivity to support our goal of building an intelligent, sustainable mobility ecosystem,” he added.
The project is currently under construction, with operations expected to commence in H2-2025. In the long term, FF aims to expand its regional R&D capabilities and build a localised supply chain ecosystem anchored in Ras Al Khaimah.
