Abu Dhabi will build an electric vehicle assembly facility that will manufacture thousands of cars a year from its industrial zone, and has brought in smart electric firm NWTN as it looks to become an auto hub.
Under the agreement, NWTN’s operations initially will have an annual capacity of 5,000 to 10,0000 units of semi knocked down electric vehicles. Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (Kizad) said it will construct a 25,000 square meters facility, which will be operated by NWTN for the manufacturing, research and development, and vehicle testing of electric vehicles.
Founded in 2016, green mobility technology company NWTN has its headquarters in the UAE and aims to produce Smart Passenger Vehicles (SPV) that deploy AI technologies and personalised passenger experiences.
The government of Abu Dhabi said that electric vehicle (EV) assembly facility in Abu Dhabi will serve to growing demand for sustainable transport options.
