Admiral Mobility And Geely Farizon Commercial Group To Bring 5000 Electric Commercial Vehicles To The Middle East

It includes 3000 electric commercial trucks, divided into 6T and 8T models, and 2000 electric Farizon Super Vans.

With a range of up to 400 km, the zero-emissions electric Farizon Super Van operates safely, taking less than two hours to fully charge via its LFP battery.

According to the report, advanced safety features include lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, remote locking systems, and high-beam LED lights equipped with auto adaptation to the surrounding traffic.

Meanwhile, the initial commitment to bring 500 commercial vehicles to the UAE in 2023 will help build the "green transportation industry," especially in the lead-up to the climate change conference, COP28, next year, as mentioned in the report.

Frank Bernthaler, chief operating officer at Admiral Mobility, said: "As we transition towards more environmentally-friendly energy and transportation solutions, we are proud to play a key role in building an infrastructure that empowers the government’s electrification strategy, and we are looking forward to supporting businesses as they move towards electric vehicles in the region."

 Meanwhile, Mingshi Lin, vice president of Geely Farizon New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group, feels the development and promotion of new energy commercial vehicles are of great importance and urgency for creating a globally sustainable future.

He also said, "With Farizon’s advanced automotive technology enabled by our R&D capabilities, now aided by the extensive market reach and customer insights of Admiral Mobility, we are confident in bringing high-quality carbon-free commercial vehicles to the entire GCC region."

The UAE, which wants to be carbon neutral by 2050, is ranked eighth in the world in terms of how ready it is for electric mobility. The government has big plans to increase the number of electric vehicles on the road as a clean energy replacement to help reach this goal.

According to the Global Electric Mobility Readiness Index (Gemrix2022), the country’s electric vehicle (EV) market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 30 percent between 2022 and 2028.
