The extended agreement builds on a series of training sessions and community rides held over the past two years, and will see the UAE National Cycling Team return to the Masaar Cycling Track in in the Suyoh suburb of Sharjah for monthly sessions through June 2026.

The current season’s activities will continue until June, with monthly sessions taking place at Masaar Track, the 6.6km uninterrupted professional looped circuit featuring three bridges and four tunnels. Each session will include dedicated access for the public, allowing community cyclists to train alongside national team athletes.

Since the partnership began, the initiative has supported cyclists from all levels and age groups. In 2025, Masaar Track averaged 100 cyclists per day, reflecting growing interest in cycling across the UAE and underlining the appeal of the track, which is set within the country’s first forest community. The programme combines structured training opportunities with open community access, contributing to wider engagement in the sport.

Masaar Track is an inclusive track designed to accommodate cyclists of all skill levels, with dedicated lanes that support both high-performance training and recreational use. The facility is anchored by The Loop, a trackside hub that includes a café, retail space, and repair and rental services, and has hosted a range of cycling events since opening. A new security gate has been added for enhanced digital access, and Cyclists can now register via WhatsApp to receive latest news about training sessions and activations on the track.

Amit Arora, Chief Operating Officer – Hospitality and Entertainment, Arada, said: “This partnership continues to demonstrate the role that well-planned infrastructure can play in supporting both professional sport and everyday activity. Masaar Track provides a setting where performance and accessibility are delivered together.”

Mansoor Buosaiba, President of the UAE Cycling Federation, said: “Our collaboration with Arada has helped expand access to high-quality training facilities while encouraging wider participation in cycling. Masaar Track has become an important venue for both athletes and the community. It also helped to engage people in sustainability and eco-friendly paths and the green and healthy way of life.”

Cycling continues to see strong growth in the UAE, supported by increased participation, new infrastructure and expanded programming. Partnerships such as this contribute to building a consistent pipeline for the sport at both grassroots and elite levels.

 Developed by UNS Vertical Farms, part of the UAE-based Speedex Group, the newly opened 10,000-square-metre facility is designed to produce approximately 150,000 kilograms of fresh tomatoes annually, contributing to a more consistent supply of locally grown produce. The initiative reflects a broader shift towards resilient, high-quality agricultural solutions that ensure freshness, flavour, and year-round availability, while catering to evolving demand across both households and the HORECA sector.

As countries increasingly focus on strengthening food resilience and local production, this launch aligns with the UAE’s strategic objectives. UNS Vertical Farms proudly supports UAE’S strategic objectives by employing advanced controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) technologies, combining hydroponics with IoT, AI, and data-driven systems to create a highly efficient, sustainable, and precision-controlled farming environment.Advanced sensors continuously monitor temperature, humidity, CO₂ levels, lighting, and nutrient delivery, while centralized control systems integrate climate control, irrigation cycles, airflow, and evaporative cooling into a single automated platform. This fully integrated approach ensures every variable is finely tuned to maximize efficiency, improve yields, minimize waste, and deliver consistently high-quality produce to the nation.

The farm cultivates a carefully curated selection of premium tomato varieties, including cherry and bunch tomatoes, all of which are non-GMO and free from pesticides and herbicides.Unlike imported produce, which is often optimized for long-distance transit, UNS Farms focuses on delivering superior taste, quality, and freshness tailored to the needs of UAE consumers. A key differentiator is its direct-to-consumer (D2C) model, allowing customers to order fresh produce via www.unsfarms.com. Its efficient supply chain ensures that produce reaches shelves and customers—including retail and HORECA channels—within 24 to 48 hours of harvest, preserving freshness and minimizing waste.

“Food security today goes beyond availability, it is about building a resilient, sustainable, and future-ready UAE food ecosystem,” said MehlamMurtaza, Director of UNS Vertical Farms. “This facility reflects our commitment to supporting the UAE’s national vision by delivering consistent, high-quality produce grown locally with precision and care.”

More than just an agricultural facility, UNS Farms exemplifies how technology is reshaping food production across the UAE. It operates independently of seasons and extreme weather, overcoming the limitations of traditional farming in the region’s arid climate. Its advanced systems reduce water consumption by up to 90 per cent, making it a highly sustainable, UAE-aligned model for modern agriculture.

At the core of any future-ready business lies customer-centricity. Companies that deeply understand their customers’ evolving needs are better positioned to stay relevant. This requires continuous feedback loops, data-driven insights, and personalized experiences. Businesses must move beyond simply selling products or services and instead focus on solving real problems and creating lasting value.

Equally important is embracing technology and innovation. From Artificial Intelligence to automation and data analytics, modern tools enable businesses to operate more efficiently and make smarter decisions. However, adopting technology is not enough—it must align with strategic goals. Organizations should foster a culture of experimentation, where innovation is encouraged and failure is seen as a learning opportunity rather than a setback.

Another key pillar is agility in operations. Future-proof businesses are flexible in how they operate, allowing them to quickly respond to market changes. This may involve adopting lean methodologies, decentralizing decision-making, or building scalable systems. Agility also extends to workforce management, organisations should invest in upskilling employees and cultivating a growth mindset across teams.

Diversification plays a crucial role in mitigating risk. Relying heavily on a single product, market, or revenue stream can be dangerous in uncertain times. By expanding offerings, entering new markets, or leveraging multiple channels, businesses can create stability and open new growth opportunities. Digital channels, in particular, have become essential for reaching wider audiences and ensuring business continuity.

In addition, strong brand identity and trust are vital assets. In an era of information overload, customers gravitate toward brands they trust. Transparency, ethical practices, and consistent communication help build credibility and loyalty. A purpose-driven brand that stands for something beyond profit is more likely to resonate with modern consumers and sustain long-term relationships.

Financial resilience is another critical factor. Maintaining healthy cash flow, managing costs effectively, and planning for contingencies can help businesses weather economic downturns. Future-proof companies are proactive in scenario planning and risk management, ensuring they are prepared for both opportunities and disruptions.

Lastly, sustainability and social responsibility are no longer optional. Businesses must consider their environmental and social impact as stakeholders increasingly demand accountability. Sustainable practices not only contribute to a better world but also enhance brand reputation and long-term viability.

Building a future-proof business requires a balanced approach—combining innovation with stability, agility with strategy, and growth with responsibility. Those who remain adaptable, customer-focused, and purpose-driven will not just survive the future—they will shape it.

This came during the official press conference, attended by officials from the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, event partners, and the media, held today at the Creators Headquarters in Emirates Towers in Dubai.

Addressing the media, HE Al Dahak affirmed that the new edition, launching under the slogan “A comprehensive Emirati agricultural platform…towards a sustainable community and global innovation”, is much more than a traditional exhibition, it is a strategic national development platform that shapes the future of food security for the UAE. Her Excellency explained that the event aimed to support local production, leverage advanced technology, and strengthen international and community partnerships. This approach directly addresses climate challenges and the world’s rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape.

Food Security – A Pillar of National Security, driven by a Proactive Vision and an Integrated Development Framework

HE Dr. Amna Al Dahak shed light on the strategic direction of the event, stating: “The region today confronts immense challenges, as geopolitical shifts and climate issues intertwine with unprecedented disruptions in global supply chains. These complex variables necessitate our utmost readiness and innovation. Amidst this scenario, we realise more than ever that focusing on local production was never merely a reaction to crises. Instead, it is a strategic, proactive choice made by the UAE from its very beginning, directly reflecting the forward-looking vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE. The UAE President positioned food security and local food production at the core of our national security, with the belief that sustainable food production is the fundamental pillar for the stability and prosperity of future generations.”

HE Al Dahak affirmed that the event represents a practical and sustainable translation of this vision, explaining: “The Emirates Agriculture Conference and Exhibition reflects the nation’s clear focus on developing local agriculture and the key role that Emirati farmers play in delivering this objective. We are moving today from the concept of supporting agriculture as a standalone sector, to building an integrated agricultural economic system that connects the farmer and the livestock breeder with the advanced food industries sector. The integrated food system deploys the latest technologies to maximise production and create sustainable food value chain to consolidate the pillars of the entire sector.”

Her Excellency continued: “We are moving forward with clear intent, aiming for this exhibition to be a springboard for sector leadership and a key driver of national economic diversification. Our message today is clear, we don’t merely secure food supplies but  actively cultivate our own food. We are building a prosperous future with food security that stands resilient and strong against all types of variables, thereby presenting to the world an inspiring Emirati model for transforming challenges into sustainable development opportunities.”

40 Panel Discussions and Several Integrated Tracks

To translate the strategic vision into a tangible reality, the Emirates Agriculture Conference and Exhibition 2026 forges an integrated national system under one roof. This year’s event reflects the magnitude of the national response, featuring over 50 expert speakers and more than 40 panel discussions, with the participation of over 200 Emirati farmers, around 60 private sector companies, and 40 startups. This is in addition to the participation of more than 20 government entities, around 2,000 school and university students, and three national universities. To ensure comprehensiveness of the impact and cover the entire food value chain, the exhibition experience was designed across several integrated strategic tracks, namely the Farmers Track, the Educational Track, the Community Track, and the Business and Young Entrepreneurs Track.

A Comprehensive National Platform with Four Strategic Targets

This year, the event serves as a comprehensive national platform, uniting all facets of the food and agriculture sector. It supports farmers, livestock breeders, and aquaculture specialists, while enhancing the private sector’s role and fostering food industries. It empowers women and youth to become innovation leaders and engages the community as an active partner in the development journey, all aimed at fostering a true agricultural transformation and establishing a safe, sustainable food future for the UAE.

The Emirates Agriculture Conference and Exhibition 2026 pursues four strategic targets for comprehensive impact. The first aims to elevate the quality of farmers’ participation. The second seeks to enrich the visitor experience, transforming the exhibition into an engaging and attractive event through interactive activities like ‘farm-to-table’ cooking competitions and showcasing the ‘local product journey’. The third focuses on empowering agricultural education to build a new, aware, and innovative generation. Finally, the event strives to enhance agricultural entrepreneurship, creating a stimulating environment for young innovators via project exhibitions and national university student competitions.

Empowering Farmers and Supporting the Livestock Sector

HE Dr. Amna Al Dahak explained that local empowerment begins from the National Agriculture Centre, stating: “The National Agriculture Centre, launched last year as a strategic ambition, now stands as a key driver of this event. Its exhibition pavilion functions as a central ‘operations room’, facilitating the signing of MoUs and the forging of strategic partnerships. These efforts aim to provide direct technical and financial support, significantly boosting our farmers’ efficiency.”

Her Excellency touched upon the ‘Farmers Track’ as one of the most important pillars of the exhibition, adding: “True empowerment is clearly evident in the Farmers’ Market, the most important space to support producers and connect them directly with markets. We go beyond merely supporting agriculture as primary production. We actively connect farmers with major national food industry companies, ensuring added value for our local products and the sustainability of supply chains. Highlighting this commitment, we have dedicated a special space to the leadership of Emirati Female Farmers, integrated children as junior producers, and allocated prominent corners for beekeepers and the dates trade.”

In a significant announcement, the Minister of Climate Change and Environment revealed a major qualitative addition for this year’s edition: the expansion of the exhibition to include a dedicated outdoor space.

“Food security is not complete without our livestock. To this end, the exhibition now features a large outdoor space, the Livestock Breeders’ Tent, entirely dedicated to livestock breeders and aquaculture. This area will host live auctions, providing powerful support for a sector integral to our heritage and national economy,” HE stated.

The Community Track – Agriculture as part of Heritage and Lifestyle

Her Excellency affirmed that these extensive scientific and economic efforts are incomplete without being rooted in the community’s conscience. This principle is embodied by the ‘Community Track’ and its pavilion, which is the largest space at the exhibition.

HE Al Dahak elaborated: “We dedicated this pavilion as our message to every Emirati family and resident, inspired by the legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who instilled in us a love for the land and taught us that national prosperity begins with cultivation and care.

“Through interactive events and educational workshops, we invite families and children to foster a culture of sustainability, promote home farming, while also connecting consumers with our local produce. This approach reaffirms that agriculture in the UAE is more than an economic activity, it is a national identity, an authentic heritage, and a lifestyle we inherit and collectively develop.”

Empowering Youth and the Community

Her Excellency underscored the event’s role as a national brainstorming platform for policy development and intellectual growth. HE noted that the four-day knowledge agenda of the conference was strategically crafted to chart a clear roadmap for the agricultural sector.

HE explained: “The first day is dedicated to modern agriculture’s core, exploring Data and Artificial Intelligence. On the second day, discussions will shift to Food Industries and value creation, alongside the Second Agricultural Extension Forum, designed to deliver cutting-edge scientific practices directly to farmers, leading to the third day, which focuses on the core of our society, The Family and the Woman Farmer, followed by the fourth day, dedicated to the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU). The university will host a series of engaging sessions and discussions.

HE Dr. Amna bint Abdullah Al Dahak emphasised: “Recognising that policies and scientific research outcomes remain dormant if they do not reach the market, we have designed the ‘Business and Young Entrepreneurs Track’ to serve as a commercial platform and a dynamic space where startups and entrepreneurs can showcase their latest products and innovations. We are not merely providing an exhibition space; we are offering a fertile environment and real incubator opportunities for forging strategic partnerships. The event will also witness the signing of local agreements, transforming innovative ideas into successful economic projects that support our local market.”

Her Excellency added: “Young entrepreneurs will play a major role in this direction. We strongly support startups to establish an agricultural sector empowered by technology and innovation for the future, and this event will be a significant launchpad for that. The youth-led momentum will not stop there, following the launch of the Emirates Youth Council for Agriculture last year, the Council returns to take center stage as an active driver for instilling an entrepreneurial mindset and providing a supportive environment to turn youth aspirations into a tangibleinvestments through various activities and events.”

The Educational Track

Driven by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment’s belief that food security’s future begins in the classroom, the event establishes the ‘Educational Track’ as a massive interactive platform. It unites school students, alongside students and faculty from three leading national universities.

HE Dr. Amna Al Dahak stated: “I believe modern agriculture is being forged today in laboratories and scientific research centres. Our true investment isn’t just in importing the latest global technologies, but fundamentally rests on preparing an Emirati generation armed with science and capable of innovating its own sustainable solutions to withstand environmental and climate challenges.”

Her Excellency explained that the exhibition prioritises students and research efforts within the ‘Community Corner’, showcasing the latest agricultural innovations. The event will also host the ‘Agricultural Innovation Hackathon’, where students and young minds will compete to find practical technical solutions. Her Excellency further praised the Mustadeem programme, a strategic Ministry initiative to train and qualify students in agriculture. The programme was launched in cooperation with the International Centre for Biosaline Agriculture (ICBA) and Silal. HE further added that the research, applied projects, and practical outputs from Mustadeem students will be displayed in the Community Corner throughout the exhibition.

The UAE’s Commitment to Protecting Ecosystems

On the international level, Her Excellency emphasised that the exhibition enjoys a strategic partnership and a strong presence of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) as the event’s international partner.

HE also revealed an impressive technological virtual experience for visitors. This experience allows them to explore the efforts of the Mangrove Alliance for Climate. HE explained this initiative conveys the message that the UAE’s environmental innovations extend beyond its national borders, actively exporting solutions and protecting global ecosystems.

Success Partners – Celebrating Collective Strength on a Local and Global Level 

HE Dr. Amna Al Dahak praised the role of partners and sponsors in achieving this national event’s targets, emphasising that synergy among various sectors is the primary engine for the desired agricultural transformation. The exhibition’s second edition benefits from the support of an elite group of partners and sponsors including Silal as Platinum Sponsor; Al Barakha Dates Factory as Gold Sponsor; Elite Agro UAE, LuLu Hypermarket, Agthia Group, Emirates Council for Balanced Development, and Al Ain Farms as Silver Sponsors and Emirates Bio Farm as Bronze Sponsor.

Other strategic partners for the event include the National Agriculture Centre as an Organising Partner, the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) as a Government Partner, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) as the International Partner. Academic, knowledge, and media dimensions are further enhanced through collaborations with the United Arab Emirates University as the Academic Partner, “TRENDS” Centre as the Knowledge Partner, Abu Dhabi Media Network as the media partner, and the Dawahi Al Ain” platform as the Young Media Partner.

Open Invitation

The Minister of Climate Change and Environment concluded her speech by thanking the event’s partners including government entities, academic institutions, the private sector, SMEs, and official sponsors. Her Excellency emphasised that the event’s success stemmed directly from the efforts of a unified UAE team. Her Excellency also extended an open invitation to media professionals, investors, farmers, Emirati families, and residents to attend the conference and exhibition. HE urged them to visit the event at ADNEC Centre Al Ain during April, encouraging them to become active participants in shaping the UAE’s new agricultural landscape.

Drive EV (https://drive-ev.ae/) uses artificial intelligence and structured decision logic to match prospective buyers with the right electric or hybrid vehicle based on their housing, lifestyle, location and driving preferences.

Drive EV is a decision platform, not a marketplace. Unlike traditional car listing sites or review portals, it focuses on understanding the buyer first, using behavioral data and guided inputs to recommend the most suitable vehicles in the UAE and connect users with the right dealers.

The platform arrives at a moment when the UAE’s EV market is growing faster than almost anywhere else in the world. The numbers reflect a market in rapid transition. EVs accounted for just 0.7 percent of total car sales in the UAE in 2021. By 2023, that figure had reached 13 percent, a pace of change that few markets anywhere in the world have matched. Full-year figures for 2025 have not yet been published, but the market surged 41 percent year-on-year in the first half of the year, with Dubai alone recording more than 40,600 registrations.

Roland Berger’s EV Charging Index 2025 ranks the GCC among the fastest-growing EV markets globally, with the UAE leading the region in volume. This momentum is largely driven by government policy, including the UAE’s goal of reaching 50% electric vehicles by 2050 and at least 10% adoption by 2030, supported by incentives such as free registration, toll exemptions, and reduced charging fees. However, rapid growth has also introduced complexity, as consumers navigate an increasingly crowded market with numerous new entrants alongside established global brands.

Drive EV addresses this gap with a data-driven approach. Its “Your Ideal Vehicle” tool guides users through eight structured questions to deliver three personalised recommendations from a comprehensive UAE model database, while an AI assistant supports broader queries, from battery technology to total cost of ownership.

Founder Ian Lewis, previously active in vehicle imports, built the platform based on first-hand market experience. He comments:

“Buying an EV in the UAE is genuinely confusing for most people. There is a lot of information out there, but very little of it is structured to help you make a confident decision. Drive EV is built to simplify that journey – guiding buyers to the right vehicle for them and connecting them with the right dealer, with far less friction.”

At launch, Drive EV also announces a partnership with EVLife (https://evlife.world), a global EV editorial platform by Reset Media Group. Reaching readers in over 170 countries, EVLife will integrate Drive EV’s recommendation tool to connect research with high-intent purchase decisions.

Together, the platforms will approach UAE dealers and manufacturers with a combined offering of editorial reach and qualified, data-driven leads. Drive EV’s lead intelligence system enhances this by capturing behavioral signals, including location, driving patterns, and model preferences.

Dominic Shales, founder of Reset Media Group and publisher of EVLife, said:

“EVLife’s role is to inform people about what is happening in the EV world. Drive EV’s role is to convert that interest into a purchase decision. Those two roles are complementary rather than competitive, and together they create a compelling proposition for both EV brands and dealers.”

The partnership will initially focus on the UAE, with plans to expand across the GCC.

This initiative reflects Dubai Municipality’s ongoing commitment to developing future-ready public spaces that support sustainability and encourage the adoption of healthier, more sustainable lifestyles—ultimately enhancing quality of life for residents and visitors across the emirate.

The initiative, delivered in line with the objectives of the Greenery and Parks Strategy 2040, positions Dubai’s public spaces as active enablers of the city’s sustainable mobility ecosystem. By integrating EV charging infrastructure into high-footfall recreational destinations, the project enhances accessibility to clean transport solutions while elevating the overall visitor experience.

The project is aligned with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, enabling strong private sector participation in the development of sustainable urban infrastructure. The partnership with UAEV reflects Dubai Municipality’s commitment to leveraging private sector expertise, innovation, and investment to deliver future-ready public services.

The first flagship phase of the initiative will see the installation of 75 EV supercharging stations across 150 parking bays within the next two years. The charging infrastructure will be strategically deployed across major destination parks, neighbourhood parks, and public beaches, ensuring convenient and accessible charging facilities across Dubai’s public spaces network. The rollout will prioritise wide geographic coverage across communities and high-traffic destinations, supporting both residents and visitors.

Eng Sharif Al Olama, Undersecretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and Chairman of UAEV, said: “Through our partnership with Dubai Municipality, UAEV is proud to expand access to EV charging infrastructure across key community destinations, including parks, markets, and public facilities. By integrating charging solutions into everyday locations, we are making sustainable mobility more convenient and accessible for everyone. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to supporting the UAE’s clean mobility ambitions and enhancing quality of life across the community.”

Badr Anwahi, CEO of the Public Facilities Agency at Dubai Municipality, said: “This initiative reflects Dubai Municipality’s commitment to transforming public spaces into integrated, future-ready environments that support evolving lifestyles and sustainable mobility. By embedding EV charging infrastructure across parks and beaches, we are enabling residents and visitors to make more environmentally responsible choices as part of their daily routines, while enhancing the overall quality and accessibility of Dubai’s public realm.”

Ali Al Darwish, Acting CEO of UAEV, said: “This collaboration with Dubai Municipality allows UAEV to expand EV charging infrastructure into everyday community spaces, making sustainable mobility more accessible.”

The project represents a key milestone in advancing UAEV’s ambitions and supports the transformational initiative, ‘A Global Market for Electric Vehicles’. It aligns with the UAE’s long-term vision to accelerate the transition towards an integrated and sustainable mobility ecosystem, contributing to the national target of increasing electric vehicle adoption to 50% of the total vehicle fleet by 2050. The initiative also supports the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative and the UAE Energy Strategy 2050.

The initiative further reflects a broader transformation in how public spaces are designed and managed — not only as recreational destinations, but as smart, sustainable environments that support modern mobility patterns, wellbeing, and environmentally responsible living. By embedding EV infrastructure within parks and beaches, Dubai Municipality is redefining these spaces as critical components of the city’s future urban ecosystem, where recreation, sustainability, and mobility intersect.

Visitors will be able to charge their vehicles while enjoying outdoor recreation, sports, family activities, children’s play areas, swimming, and waterfront promenades, making sustainable choices more convenient and seamlessly integrated into everyday life.

The project contributes to Dubai’s broader ambition to accelerate electric vehicle adoption and reduce carbon emissions, supporting national and emirate-level strategies focused on clean energy transition, smart infrastructure, and climate resilience.

Dubai Municipality continues to invite private sector partners, operators, investors, and innovation-driven companies to collaborate in shaping the next generation of public infrastructure. Through strategic partnerships, the Municipality is integrating technology, sustainability, and service excellence into public environments, ensuring long-term operational efficiency, environmental impact, and enhanced user experience.

Dubai Municipality remains committed to investing in innovative solutions that ensure the emirate’s public spaces are inclusive, accessible, and environmentally responsible destinations for current and future generations.

Much of this shift can be traced directly to the UAE’s accelerating electrification agenda. The charging network is expanding, and a wave of private-sector charging deployments have collectively moved the infrastructure conversation onward. This progress, however, has also sharpened buyer expectations. When a government implies that the automotive future is electrified, consumers and fleet operators respond by demanding more rigorous answers about reliability and long-term cost.

The EXEED RX SUPER HYBRID enters this environment as a vehicle engineered less for showroom appeal and more for the realities of daily operation. Its range-extended electric vehicle architecture delivers a combined driving range exceeding 1,300 kilometres on a full tank and full charge under the CLTC testing cycle. In practical terms, this means an owner can travel between emirates without refuelling, or complete an entire working week of urban commuting in Dubai on electric power alone. The RX’s EV-only range of approximately 80 to 150 kilometres handles the daily routine of most UAE drivers (school runs, office commutes, evening errands) before the petrol generator engages to extend the journey. There is no range anxiety, and critically, no interruption. The vehicle adapts to the driver’s life rather than demanding the reverse: a factor that weighs heavily in the minds of potential buyers.

Yet the RX’s most consequential advantage may not be under its bonnet at all. It may be in the service bays and parts warehouses operated by Al Ghurair Mobility, EXEED’s operational partner in the UAE. Al Ghurair Mobility has constructed an aftersales framework that reflects a fundamental understanding of what premium ownership actually requires in this market: confidence that the service centre is staffed by technicians trained specifically on REEV systems, stocked with the correct components, and operating within structured, repeatable protocols. This is important as these vehicles are indeed more technically complex, and the plug-in hybrid and REEV segments are littered with examples of vehicles that arrived with impressive specifications but faltered when owners discovered that local service networks lacked the expertise or inventory to maintain them properly.

Al Ghurair Mobility’s approach treats the aftersales experience as an extension of the vehicle’s engineering. REEV-trained technical teams handle diagnostics and maintenance with the specificity the powertrain demands. Spare parts availability is managed proactively, ensuring that components are on hand rather than on order when a vehicle arrives for service. Fleet operators, a segment that judges vehicles with operational rigidity, have reported lifecycle durability approaching 200,000 kilometres under Al Ghurair Mobility’s managed service protocols. That’s a figure from documented performance in vehicles operating within the UAE’s demanding conditions, where summer temperatures routinely exceed 45 degrees Celsius.

The fleet dimension deserves particular attention because it strips away emotional variables of the private purchase decision and exposes what remains: cost per kilometre, uptime, maintenance predictability, residual confidence, and other non-negotiable metrics. On each of these, the RX operating within Al Ghurair Mobility’s ecosystem competes credibly against vehicles carrying far more established badges. High-mileage expertise, built through disciplined repetition across a growing fleet base, gives Al Ghurair Mobility a practical advantage that newer market entrants in the electrified space have yet to match.

There is, of course, a broader lesson embedded in the EXEED RX’s positioning. The UAE’s premium automotive market has always been fiercely competitive, but the terms of competition are changing. Showroom presentation still matters. This is, after all, a market that respects craftsmanship and design, and forthcoming expressions of the RX platform, including a Matte Black Edition of the Super Hybrid scheduled for May 2026, reflect that reality. But presentation alone is no longer sufficient. The brands that will define the next chapter of premium motoring in the Emirates are those that can demonstrate operational discipline, service consistency, and a genuine commitment to the ownership experience long after the keys have been handed over. Al Ghurair Mobility has understood this, and has built the infrastructure to deliver on it. The EXEED RX is the vehicle that makes the case. But it is the service lane, not the showroom, where that case is ultimately proven.

Drive More, Spend Less

With outstanding efficiency and intelligent hybrid engineering, OMODA & JAECOO vehicles redefine cost-effective mobility. The combination of low fuel consumption, extended range, and seamless hybrid performance ensures drivers can travel further while spending significantly less.

For everyday practicality, these efficiency gains translate into measurable financial benefits. A full tank and charge of the JAECOO J7 and JAECOO J8 can support up to one month of daily commuting between Dubai and Sharjah, based on average driving patterns. This results in annual savings of AED7,000 to AED8,000, factoring in both office and family usage. Combined with significantly lower fuel consumption, the models deliver a compelling cost-per-kilometre advantage—while maintaining a smooth, quiet, and performance-driven driving experience.

For longer intercity travel, the same full tank and charge can support approximately one week of daily commuting between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, offering exceptional range and convenience.

In both scenarios, drivers can benefit from approximately 50 per cent savings in fuel consumption, significantly reducing monthly fuel expenses while maintaining performance and comfort.

The collaboration introduces a new model for purpose-driven collecting, where certified artifacts become vehicles for global change. Each piece will be protected through Relik’s multi-layer authenticity infrastructure, securing permanent provenance, traceability, and trust for collectors worldwide through immutable digital certificates linked directly to each collectible.

Walid Tarabih,FounderandCEOofRelik, said: “The future of collecting is not only about ownership, but about purpose and trust. These pieces carry real history, worn and used by Lionel Messi himself, and now they become a way for collectors to contribute directly to protecting our oceans. Relik exists to protect that legacy permanently.”

Samir Suleymanov, President of Join The Planet Foundation, commented: “Protecting our oceans requires the world to pay attention, and this collection does exactly that. Messi’s personal contribution gives collectors a tangible connection to something far larger than sport– it’s a stake in the future of our planet. Relik’s technology ensures every collector knows exactly what they own and exactly what impact their purchase makes. That is the kind of trust this mission deserves.”

The campaign surrounding the collection will invite collectors, fans, and environmental advocates to engage in a global movement centred on legacy and responsibility. By combining Messi’s personal contribution with Join The Planet’s environmental vision and Relik’s authenticity infrastructure, the collaboration aims to redefine how collectibles create meaningful impact beyond sport.

The exclusive one-of-one pieces will be unveiled through a phased campaign designed to engage the global collector community, culminating in a dedicated release through the Relik marketplace. Participants will gain access to certified artifacts while directly supporting ocean protection initiatives led by Join The Planet.
