A REVOLUTION ADMIRAL LEADING

Admiral Mobility, a leading company in providing accessible eMobility and energy management solutions, says it wants to bring 5,000 electric commercial vehicles to the Middle East. The commitment comprises of 3,000 Electric Commercial Trucks, split between 6T and 8T, and a further 2000 Electric Farizon SuperVANs, explained the US firm in a statement. The order is the result of a strategic partnership between Admiral Mobility and China’s Geely Farizon Commercial Group, with the two firms believing there is growing demand for ecological transportation, “be it for highways, the city or backroads, to ensure a cleaner environment for us all”.

The UAE has been identified as their first priority because of its focus on achieving its Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) and providing access to clean energy and sustainable economic growth.

Admiral Mobility has therefor committed to bringing 500 Commercial Vehicles to the UAE in 2023, which will further help build the ‘green transportation industry’, especially in the lead up to climate change conference, COP28 next year. Supporting governments, municipalities and ‘mega-projects’ in its quest to ‘decarbonise’ the transportation industry, Admiral Mobility said its focus will be to offer businesses distributing goods the opportunity to do this sustainably via the use of EV (electric vehicle) trucks, thus providing an environmentally-friendly and commercially viable business model.

Furthermore, Admiral Mobility said it will provide multiple ways to support public and private sector businesses, through assisting with charging network requirements, managing after-sales services, as well as offering attractive leasing model arrangements to provide complete flexibility and peace of mind.

“With COP28 fast approaching and sustainability being high on everyone’s agendas, this partnership is an important step forward to build a robust, EV truck portfolio in the region,” said Frank Bernthaler, Chief Operating Officer, Admiral Mobility.

“As we transition towards more environmentallyfriendly energy and transportation solutions, we are proud to play a key role in building an infrastructure that empowers the government’s electrification strategy, and we are looking forward to supporting businesses as they move towards electric vehicles in the region.”

With a range of up to 400km, the zero emissions electric Farizon SuperVAN operates safely, taking less than two hours to fully charge.
