Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility Co. And e& To Deploy 100 EVs

Two brands, e& and Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility Company, part of the Al-Futtaim Group, have partnered to boost UAE’s aim for net-zero emissions by 2050. The agreement is to deploy a fleet of 100 BYD Atto 3 vehicles in the country. Those will help reduce net carbon emissions by replacing the company’s fleet of light vehicles. The Atto 3, with multiple electric motors, boasts a WLTP-certified range of 420km on a single charge. That means it has enough juice to serve the operational needs of e&.

This partnership with e& will also propel Al-Futtaim Group towards its ‘Green’ targets. It has pledged that by the end of the decade (2030), at least 50 per cent of its total vehicle sales in the UAE will come from new energy vehicles. That comprises hybrid and pure electric models. Also, the Group is en route to installing 10 per cent of the UAE’s electric vehicle charging stations within the same timeline.

MG’s EXE181 Concept electric hypercar pays tribute to a record-breaking car

Global auto expos and concept car unveils go hand in hand and British-born MG continues this tradition at the ongoing 2024 Beijing Auto Show by unveiling an all-electric hypercar concept called the MG EXE181 Concept. If you recall the name from before, Sir Sterling Moss set a land speed record in 1957 with a car called the EX181, which stands to this day. An extra E was added, probably to signify the electric powertrain’s presence, and the design inspiration borrowed from the record-breaking car further helped the concept achieve a drag coefficient of 0.181, explaining the nomenclature behind the concept’s name. MG engineered this car to attain a top speed of 415 km/h and the interior with a streamlined steering wheel and Head-Up Display setup further emphasizes the priority on speed. Tom Lee, Managing Director of MG Motor Middle East, said: “The unveiling of the EXE181 concept is yet another clear demonstration of the eye-catching progress that the MG brand is making both globally and regionally. This concept car embodies MG’s core values of innovation and design excellence, showcasing our commitment to pushing boundaries and shaping the future of automotive technology.”
