The UAE-based Al Sayegh Group has signed a strategic agreement with Triton EV, a leading manufacturer of electric and hydrogen vehicles, to establish a state-of-the-art manufacturing centre for electric trucks in Abu Dhabi.

This new centre is poised to become a regional hub, catering to the growing demand of the GCC and African markets, and further strengthening Abu Dhabi’s position as a global industrial powerhouse in the future industries sector, said a statement.

The agreement, formalised on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi economic delegation visit to the US, marks a significant milestone in bolstering the role of national and family businesses within strategic, value-added sectors, while expanding avenues of cooperation with international partners. It underlines a shared commitment to embracing the global transition towards sustainable transportation solutions and advancing the path to long-term economic sustainability, it said.
