As the UAE boldly advances its national vision to build smart cities of the future, one crucial pillar stands out: smart and sustainable mobility. With growing investments in AI, green technologies, and digital infrastructure, the UAE is reimagining what modern urban living can and should look like. At the forefront of this transformation is Dongfeng UAE, represented by MAHY Khoory Automotive, offering innovative vehicle technologies that are not just keeping pace with the future — they are helping drive it.
Dongfeng’s arrival in the UAE market is perfectly aligned with the country’s progressive ambitions under initiatives like the UAE Smart City Strategy and the Net Zero 2050 commitment. Understanding that smart cities cannot exist without smart mobility, Dongfeng is delivering electric vehicles (EVs) and intelligent automotive solutions designed to integrate seamlessly into connected urban ecosystems. From advanced EV technologies to AI-powered systems, Dongfeng’s offerings reflect a vision where transportation is clean, efficient, intelligent, and citizen-centric.
A Future Fuelled by Electric Innovation
Central to Dongfeng’s strategy is its strong investment in electric vehicles, epitomized by the launch of the new Dongfeng 007 EV in the UAE. Offering long-range battery capacity, cutting-edge design, and smart digital interfaces, the Dongfeng 007 is much more than a car—it is a sustainable lifestyle solution. It addresses key concerns of urban environments: reducing carbon emissions, minimizing noise pollution, and enhancing energy efficiency.
By promoting electric mobility, Dongfeng is directly supporting the UAE’s Green Agenda, which prioritizes clean energy and reduced dependence on fossil fuels. As the UAE works towards its target of 50% clean energy by 2050, Dongfeng’s EV lineup provides a practical pathway for residents and businesses to contribute to environmental responsibility without compromising performance, comfort, or innovation.
Digital Connectivity Meets Urban Convenience Smart cities are built on seamless connectivity, and Dongfeng’s vehicles are designed with this future in mind. Equipped with intelligent systems such as autonomous driving features, advanced infotainment, predictive maintenance technologies, and real-time connectivity, Dongfeng’s cars can easily plug into a larger smart infrastructure ecosystem.
“At Dongfeng UAE, we are proud to drive the future of urban mobility, aligning with the UAE’s bold vision for smart, sustainable cities. True smart mobility goes beyond technology — it’s about building greener, more connected, and people-centred communities”, Saj Jabbar, General Manager, MAHY Khoory Automotive.
Imagine a city where vehicles can communicate with traffic systems, parking spaces, and charging stations in real time — optimising traffic flow, reducing commute times, and cutting emissions. Dongfeng’s commitment to developing such interconnected systems positions it as a key player in enabling the UAE’s ambition to create intelligent transportation networks within its smart cities.
Moreover, the Dongfeng 007’s sophisticated AI capabilities — from smart route planning to energy-saving driving modes — embody the future of personalized urban mobility, making life easier, safer, and more efficient for modern drivers.
Environmental Stewardship in Action
Beyond vehicles, Dongfeng’s commitment to sustainability runs deep into its operational philosophy. The brand embraces responsible manufacturing practices, advanced battery recycling programs, and eco-conscious designs. By focusing on the full lifecycle impact of its vehicles, Dongfeng supports a circular economy approach that resonates strongly with the UAE’s broader sustainability goals.
In a smart city ecosystem, transportation must not only be efficient but also environmentally neutral. Dongfeng’s emphasis on green technologies ensures that its contribution to the UAE’s smart city development is aligned with principles of environmental stewardship and low-impact urban living.
Strategic Collaboration for Greater Impact
Dongfeng UAE’s efforts are amplified by strategic partnerships with government initiatives, smart city developers, and green energy providers. Through active collaboration, Dongfeng is positioning itself not merely as a vehicle supplier but as an enabler of urban transformation.
As the UAE accelerates projects like Masdar City, Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and Abu Dhabi’s smart mobility corridors, Dongfeng’s role in providing intelligent, sustainable transportation solutions becomes even more pivotal. The brand is committed to working alongside stakeholders to build smarter, greener cities that are ready for the future.
A Shared Vision for Tomorrow
The UAE’s vision for smart cities is bold, ambitious, and transformative. It calls for innovations that reshape industries, rethink sustainability, and redefine how people live, move, and connect. Dongfeng UAE, with the dynamic leadership of MAHY Khoory Automotive, is rising to meet this challenge by delivering intelligent mobility solutions that are innovative, environmentally conscious, and deeply integrated into the fabric of urban life.
As smart cities move from concept to reality, the collaboration between visionary governments and pioneering automotive players like Dongfeng will be critical. Together, they are not only building the cities of tomorrow but also empowering the lives that will flourish within them.
In a future defined by smart mobility, Dongfeng UAE is not just ready — it’s leading the charge.
