NWTN, a pioneering green technology company offering passenger-centric green mobility solutions, has announced that it has delivered 20 range-extended electric vehicles (R-EEVs) to M93 Car Rental Company at its newly-constructed facility in the Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (Kezad).

Headquartered in Dubai and with its manufacturing facilities in the UAE capital Abu Dhabi, NWTN aims to integrate avant-garde design, life-style personalization, IoT connectivity, autonomous driving technology, and green energy eco-systems to its future mobility solutions, said a statement from the company.

The 20 R-EEVs are part of the first batch of vehicles to be delivered to local clients within coming months, it stated.

The R-EEVs were the perfect choice for the Emirati car rental firm and are uniquely suited to the UAE market.

The vehicle's range-extended technology overcomes the problems of limited charging facilities in the UAE and the long distances often travelled in the country, it added.

The delivery kicks off NWTN's plan to provide the UAE market with a range of innovative products and solutions to promote the region's transformation to sustainable energy, said its top official.

"We are thrilled to see our products and solutions start contributing to the UAE's Zero Emission Initiative. This is the beginning of our long-term commitment to the UAE and the Middle East market," remarked its Chairman and CEO Alan Wu.

"We will continue to promote green mobility lifestyles and bring world leading sustainable technologies to the UAE to help support the country's 'Net-Zero 2050' strategic initiative and energy transformation blueprint," he noted.

M93 Car Rental Chairman & CEO Shahram Parvizi said: This is the first time we adopt new energy vehicles into our operation fleet, we are so excited about it. This is in line with the green energy transformation initiatives of our country, and we are very proud to be an active part of it."

"I would like to thank NWTN for providing these advanced products and technology to us. We look forward to rolling out additional new energy mobility technologies and solutions from NWTN in the future," stated Parvizi.

According to him, the Kezad assembly facility is NWTN's first facility in the UAE.

"The facility will enable NWTN to conduct semi-knockdown production with a greater proportion of software and hardware localization and upgrades to meet the local market needs," he noted.

"The Kezad assembly facility is currently in the final phase of installing equipment and conducting trial operations, and is expected to be fully operational in the first quarter of 2023," he added.
