Exeed Exceeding Own Expectations In The UAE
Exeed by Al Ghurair has hit the ground running in the UAE. Through its only showroom in Dubai, the Chinese carmaker has already retailed 200 SUVs in the country. Considering that operations with its authorised distributor, AG Auto, commenced less than two months ago, that is an impressive feat. The LX model accounted for 35 per cent of the overall sales, followed by the RX at 30 per cent. The TXL and VX SUVs split the remaining share.
The brand believes competitive pricing and value proposition are the main drivers for this encouraging response from the market. As a result, Exeed by Al Ghurair will open two showrooms in the national capital before 2023 comes to a close. Moreover, a second Dubai outlet is also in the works. From 2024, the carmaker will introduce a range of hybrid models, followed by pure electric vehicles.
Nando’s And Puma Launch RS-Xtra Hot Sneaker
Popular South African dining chain Nando’s has collaborated with sports brand Puma to create a spicy-looking sneaker. Meet the Puma X Nando’s RS-Xtra Hot, available now at select Puma stores in the UAE and online at the brand’s official website.
The RS moniker, short for Running System, dates back to 1984. When Puma introduced it, the shoe became the world’s first wearable and smart sports product. The collaboration to create the RS-Xtra Hot builds upon the same foundation. Bespoke touches include Puma lettering in Nando’s font, the restaurant’s PERI-ometer and its Barci Cockerel logo. This fusion of two brands is celebrating South Africa’s Heritage Day.

Newly Formed JV To Boost Urban Air Mobility In The UAE
During the Dubai Airshow 2023, an agreement was inked between Embention, a company that deals in avionics, and Eanan, a Dubai-based Urban Air Mobility firm. It is for a joint venture (JV), with an initial investment of USD 5 million, that aims to manufacture at least 3,000 Embention’s Veronte Autopilots in Dubai, a core flight control system for Eanan’s aircraft – the S-700. That is the company’s largest unmanned aircraft with a payload capacity of up to 200kg.
With no local emissions, the unmanned aircraft help boost UAE’s urban air mobility solutions. At the recently concluded Dubai Airshow 2023, the duo launched the first fleet of unmanned aircraft produced and designed entirely in Dubai.
