 Al-Futtaim, in partnership with BYD, the world’s leading manufacturer of New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), proudly launched BYD’s third flagship showroom in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. This new showroom marks a significant step in BYD’s ongoing commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia’s green mobility transformation and bringing sustainable driving solutions closer to customers across the Eastern Province.

Following the successful launches in Riyadh and Jeddah, the Dammam showroom represents a significant milestone in BYD’s ‘Closer to You’ strategy, aimed at accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) across the Eastern Province. With nearly 25,000 patents, BYD is at the forefront of technological innovation, aligning seamlessly with Saudi Arabia’s vision for a sustainable and technologically advanced future.

In a historic move, BYD KSA formally submitted its bid for candidacy to the Saudi Green Initiative (SGI), making BYD the first automotive brand to officially file for candidacy. This partnership represents a strategic alignment with Saudi Arabia’s National Agenda, allowing BYD KSA to contribute to the Kingdom’s transformational objectives and sustainability goals. By localizing its operations and actively participating in the Kingdom’s green initiatives, BYD KSA reinforces the credibility of both Al-Futtaim and BYD as leaders in the automotive and sustainable mobility sectors.

Badr Khojandi, General Manager of BYD KSA, commented: “The opening of our Dammam showroom is a testament to our commitment to making green mobility accessible to all. Dammam is a city that embodies progress and forward-thinking, and we are thrilled to bring BYD’s innovative electric and hybrid vehicles to this vibrant community. Furthermore, our bid for candidacy with the Saudi Green Initiative underscores our dedication to supporting the Kingdom’s national agenda and localizing our operations to contribute to Saudi Arabia’s transformational objectives. We invite everyone to join us in driving the change towards a greener future.”
