With his widespread experience in the EMEA car industry, it is great to see Rhett join us and work alongside a visionary team of forward-thinking professionals at Trading Enterprises.”

Maxwell’s role as General Manager of Honda UAE at Trading Enterprise will see him take responsibility for all business aspects spanning the brand’s diverse portfolio of mobility solutions, including passenger cars, motor bikes, marine engines and power products. In his role, Maxwell will also be responsible for implementing and maintaining a high-standard customer service across multiple Honda showrooms in the UAE, while also elevating the awareness of both the brand and its product line up of iconic models such as Accord, Civic and CR-V.

Speaking about his new role as Honda UAE’s General Manager at Trading Enterprises, Rhett Maxwell, said: “I’m happy to return to the Middle East, especially to join Trading Enterprises under the Al-Futtaim Automotive Group that is one of the most prominent companies in the region. Adding such an iconic brand like Honda to my portfolio is a real privilege, especially for the great legacy it has in innovating mobility through The Power of Dreams. It is a remarkable opportunity for me to be entrusted with further developing and growing the Honda business in the UAE and to be part of the Al-Futtaim Group which has such deep roots within the UAE; I am looking forward to the challenge.”

Underlining its future path through '2030 Vision', Honda will heavily emphasise on the development of technologies for mobility products, energy and robotics under this plan. Leveraging its 32 million customers across the world, Honda will focus on electrified mobility products to achieve a zero carbon society, with a wide range of fully electric, hybrid and other environment-friendly power-driven vehicles set to launch from next year onwards under '2030 Vision'.
