The innovative facility, launched by Emarat at its new Al Buhaira service station, integrates EV maintenance with traditional fuel, food, and car care services offering motorists a one-stop destination for all vehicle needs.
The launch expands Emarat’s network to 158 stations across the UAE and underscores the company’s commitment to evolving with the country’s clean-energy and electric mobility agenda. The new EV Service Centre operates in collaboration with EVS Electric Vehicle Services LLC, combining Emarat’s established Lube Express model with EVS’s specialised maintenance and diagnostic expertise.

Under this strategic partnership, Emarat and EVS will roll out co-branded “EVS Express Service Bays” across selected Emarat sites, starting with Barsha South, Nahrawan in Dubai, and Muwafjah in Sharjah. A pilot programme is already underway to fine-tune customer experience and establish scalable EV servicing standards.
