General Motors signs MoU with Al Wegdaniyah Transport Solutions to explore future EV leasing opportunities

General Motors Middle East (GM MEO), today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Al Wegdaniya Transport to explore electric vehicle (EV) leasing opportunities. The MoU reinforces the mutual commitment to bring electrification to all modes of transport.

Among the leading UAE based SMEs in the mobility space, Al Wegdaniyah Transport Solutions is specialized in providing transport solutions to corporate clients. The agreement serves the demand for EV leasing from across Al Wegdaniya Transport’s clientele spanning government and corporate entities and will guide how the growing demand for electrification is addressed, while opening doors for wider collaboration. Through this partnership, Al Wegdaniya Transport, a winner of the Best Transportation & Logistics Business at the MBR Awards for Young Businesses, is the latest to join a diverse cohort of GM partners, ultimately reaffirming the automaker’s commitment to driving the future of mobility and mass adoption of EVs.

On our drive toward bringing one of the broadest EV portfolios to the region, the MoU allows for GM’s highly anticipated upcoming EVs to be incorporated within the leasing conversation as these go live, spanning the likes of the Chevrolet Bolt EUV, Cadillac LYRIQ, GMC HUMMER EV and Chevrolet Blazer EV, within the GM umbrella. The collaboration will also capitalize on General Motors pioneering connected car solution, OnStar. Through early exploration of leasing with local entities, GM will be able to identify new avenues of engagement with a wider audience.

Albert Nazarian, Managing Director of Commercial Operations at GM AMEO commented, “At General Motors our vision for the future of mobility is spearheaded by our roll out of EVs, AVs, cutting edge connected technology and proprietary safety offerings, which we are eager to make accessible to every customer, corporation and public entity, to successfully champion innovation on all fronts. Further to this, we strive to collaborate with local entrepreneurial ventures, to bring to life our vision for a future of Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions and Zero Congestion. It is through these strategic partnerships that we can continue our innovative work in the mobility space and lay the groundwork for further opportunities with corporate and government entities. For this reason, we at General Motors place immense efforts into working closely with entrepreneurs as part of our regional ambidextrous strategy, in addition to our work to develop an equitable STEM pipeline of future talent.”

Hussain Al Tahri, CEO and Owner of Al Wegdaniyah Transport Solutions shared, “We are delighted to be working with a leading entity in the market such as General Motors, whose commitment to an electric future will no doubt be transformational for mobility solutions providers. Given the strong anticipation for this roll out, we want to be able to meet demand across various touch points, that are tailored to individual requirements. We are eager to align on goals and strategies of mutual interest, that will elevate how we deploy EVs and offer management solutions, across our ongoing fleet expansion plans.”

GM MEO’s goal is to deliver the best and broadest range of EVs in the region across its Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac brands – making these accessible to individuals and corporate entitles alike, with an EV for every wallet, from trucks and affordable sedans to luxury vehicles and high-performance machines. It is only through working closely with our dealer network, local partners within the private sector such as Al Wegdaniya Transport, and the close collaboration between public and private entities, that the future of mobility can be widely embraced and achieved across the region.
