Paul Willis, President of Al-Futtaim Automotive, said: “We have to take radical action to tackle the climate crisis, especially within the automotive sector, as surface transportation is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.”
Omar Al Futtaim, Vice Chairman and CEO of Al-Futtaim Group, said: “The future of business is inextricably linked with the future of our planet.”
As part of the strategic partnership, Al-Futtaim Group will deliver a fleet of 370 electrified passenger cars, sports utility vehicles (SUV), and buses to be utilised for COP28.
