NWTN becomes the official mobility partner of MBRSC
Dubai-based space entity to use Rabdan One electric vehicles
NWTN, a Dubai-based green energy company, has been contracted to supply its Rabdan One electric vehicles to the Dubai-based Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC).
An announcement confirming NWTN as the official mobility partner of MBRSC was made on February 19, 2024, when Salem Humaid Al Marri, Director-General of MBRSC and Paul Lin, President of NWTN, signed the collaboration agreement.
MBRSC will deploy Rabdan One vehicles for all its official activities in the UAE. Rabdan One is NWTN’s premium mobility brand.
The decision of MBRSC to join forces with NWTN signifies a convergence of vision and values between the two entities, both driven by a shared pursuit of innovation and excellence.
By choosing NWTN as its official mobility partner, MBRSC follows in the footsteps of SpaceX, owned by Elon Musk.
This American space company, also owned by Musk, exclusively deploys Tesla electric vehicles for all its space missions, including transporting NASA and other global space agencies’ astronauts and cosmonauts to SpaceX launch vehicles for ultimate launch to the orbiting International Space Station.
The strategic alliance emphasises NWTN’s state-of-the-art automotive technology and aligns with the company’s broader mission to champion sustainable practices and innovative initiatives in the UAE.
For NWTN, the collaboration also marks a significant milestone, opening up new avenues for technological advancements and sustainability initiatives in the UAE and globally.
NWTN is the first UAE-based electric vehicle company listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange and has received substantial financial and policy support from the UAE government.
NWTN’s Rabdan One assembly plant is in Khalifa Economic Zone in Abu Dhabi. This facility measures approximately 270,000 square feet. Construction of the facility began in October 2022 and was completed by December 2022. The company also operates a production plant in Jinhua, Zhejiang, China.
Founded by Alan Wu, NWTN is committed to mobility through pioneering design, personalised lifestyles, IoT, autonomous driving technology, and green energy.
Beyond electric vehicles, NWTN operates in the entire clean energy value chain, encompassing photovoltaics, green hydrogen power, and energy storage.
The company’s footprint extends across the Middle East, North Africa, Asia, and Europe.
