Through our participation in events such as this, we can better inform our customers about our holistic approach to mobility, the factors that influenced the design of our EQ-range; and how it aligns with our sustainable goals.”

In addition to displaying the EQE and EQS, Emirates Motor Company launched the pre-booking web page for the Mercedes EQS, allowing customers to conveniently book their allocation online by placing an AED 5,000 deposit.
