Premium Automotive Brand EXEED Enters Oman Market in Partnership with Silver Lake Motors
Muscat— Silver Lake Motors, one of the Middle East's leading business groups, has officially entered a new strategic partnership and agreement with EXEED, the premium automotive brand renowned for its innovation, advanced engineering, and modern luxury. Under this agreement, EXEED will introduce its full range of electric, hybrid, and combustion-engine vehicles to the Sultanate of Oman, marking a major step forward in its Middle East expansion strategy. This collaboration brings together EXEED's cutting-edge technology and design with Silver Lake Motors' strong local presence and market expertise. Together, the two companies aim to offer a new standard of premium mobility in Oman—one that blends performance, luxury, and sustainability with a deeply customer-centric approach. A Trusted Partnership Built on Experience This new agreement designates Silver Lake Motors as EXEED's exclusive distributor in Oman, extending a successful three-year partnership that began in Qatar. Since 2022, Silver Lake Motors has led EXEED's entry into the Qatari market, most notably with the opening of a flagship showroom in Doha at 'West Walk'—an architectural showcase for the brand's tech-luxury vision. The Oman partnership was formalized during a signing ceremony at EXEED's global headquarters in Wuhu, China, attended by top executives from both companies. Ms. Ping Ding, Representative of Silver Lake Motors, said: "We are proud to announce our exclusive partnership with EXEED in Oman, a nation full of promise and opportunity. EXEED's presence in Oman marks a significant milestone, as it is known for its premium craftsmanship, forward-thinking design, and commitment to innovation, EXEED brings a new standard of excellence that aligns perfectly with Oman's vision for progress and sustainable development. This partnership reflects our deep respect for Oman's growing economy and its ambitious outlook. Together with EXEED, we aim to offer Omani customers a new driving experience, one that combines luxury, performance, and advanced technology. " 'Aligning with Silver Lake Motors allows us to combine EXEED's innovation with their deep understanding of the regional market,' said Mr. Qin, CEO of EXEED International. 'Together, we're ready to redefine what premium automotive experiences look like across the GCC.' Leading the Tech-Luxury Transformation EXEED is the only luxury car manufacturer offering a full lineup across electric vehicles (EV), range-extended electric vehicles (REEV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV), and internal combustion engine (ICE) models. The brand is making headlines globally for its pioneering achievements, including the EXEED ES sedan, which recently set a Guinness World Record for "Most moving vehicles weaved through in 30 seconds." In addition, EXEED's REEV models deliver an impressive range of over 1,000 km on a single charge and full tank, while the EXEED RX Plug-in Hybrid SUV—powered by EXEED's advanced Super Hybrid System—boasts a total range of 1,300 km, with real-world fuel efficiency as low as 1.2L/100 km. Commitment to Safety and Innovation EXEED is also globally acclaimed for its commitment to safety and engineering excellence. The brand's cage-style body structure and patented innovations have earned it 5-star global safety certifications. In a demonstration of its commitment to rigorous standards, the EXEED ET successfully completed the world's first 31.9-meter free-fall collision test, while the RX Plug-in Hybrid has passed stringent electric vehicle crash tests—further proving its reliability in diverse conditions.

Sensational Fourth Overall and Gold Cup Victory for Al-Manar Racing by Team WRT's Al-Zubair, Klingmann and Tuck at Monza
MONZA (ITALY): Al-Manar Racing by Team WRT's Al-Faisal Al-Zubair, Jens Klingmann and Ben Tuck delivered another driving and strategic masterclass to finish fourth overall and first in the Gold Cup class at the second round of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup powered by AWS at Monza late on Sunday afternoon. Despite qualifying in seventh, the trio carried out their pit stop strategy perfectly and were able to move through the field during a yellow flag-interrupted three-hour race to finish fourth overall ahead of nine other rivals in the Gold Cup category in their BMW M4 GT3 EVO. It was another proud day for Al-Zubair and the Sultanate of Oman in endurance racing. The Racing Aston Martin was a distant second overall and the Tresor Attempto Racing Audi rounded off the Gold Cup podium. A delighted Al-Zubair said: 'I'm happy to clinch the win in the Gold Cup Category. Honestly, this is a dream come true. Especially because we started the race from seventh on the grid. But the strategy from Team WRT was excellent. We had the speed throughout the weekend, but in qualifying we faced some issues, particularly in Q3. 'Fourth position in the overall classification and winning the Gold Cup category, this was fantastic. I'm very proud to raise the Omani flag high. We are aiming to achieve even more.' From a start position of seventh in the Gold Cup category, Al-Zubair held eighth until a full course yellow brought proceedings to a stop after around 20 minutes. The Garage 59 McLaren had the lead from the CSA Racing McLaren. Action resumed around the half-hour mark and Al-Zubair made up a place to take seventh shortly afterwards. The Omani maintained his composure and was soon up to sixth with the Garage 59 McLaren continuing to lead from the Racing Aston Martin. Herberth Motorsport's Porsche was sidelined after 13 laps. Al-Zubair retained sixth to another full course yellow with around 1hr 50min of the race remaining. The handover to Tuck was a good one and, when action resumed, Tuck held the lead from the Garage 59 McLaren and the Verstappen Aston. The leading six Gold Cup cars were tightly bunched but Tuck retained the lead through 48 laps with 68 minutes of the race remaining. The CSA Racing McLaren had fallen by the wayside after 36 laps. With less than an hour to run there was yet another full course yellow with Tuck still leading. Racing resumed under a green flag with 54 minutes to go and the final changeover to Klingmann was a successful one with the team retaining an advantage over the Aston Martin and the Optimum Motorsport McLaren. A seventh interruption to the race happened with 31 minutes to run and Klingmann holding the lead and a superb fourth overall. But it was a brief stoppage and the German retained his position, only for a yellow to halt the race for the eighth time with just three minutes left of the 84-lap race. Al-Manar Racing by Team WRT carried out a short unofficial test session on Friday with Al-Zubair posting a best lap of 1min 46.840sec. Free practice took place on Saturday morning for the 10-car field and the fastest lap of the session went to the Nordique Racing Mercedes in the hands of Japan's Kotaka Kazuko. Tuck's best run for the Al-Manar Racing by Team WRT operation was 1min 46.345sec and that put the BMW M4 in the middle of the group in fifth. Pre-qualifying saw the Al-Manar Racing BMW down in a subdued eighth with a best lap of 1min 46.694sec in a session won by the Racing Aston Martin. Klingmann carded a best run of 1min 46.101sec in the first of the two qualifying sessions to put the BMW in sixth of the Gold Cup runners. Tuck ran a 1min 45.826sec lap in Q2 and Al-Zubair finished his Q3 stint with a best lap of 1min 46.848sec. With the times collated from the three qualifying stints, the Al-Manar Racing by Team WRT BMW lined up on the grid in seventh with pole position falling to the Garage 59 McLaren from the CSA Racing McLaren and the Racing Aston Martin.

Total investment in Al Buraimi Industrial City hits OMR274mn
Muscat: Al Buraimi Industrial City, affiliated with the Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (Madayn), successfully signed 16 investment contracts in 2024, with a total investment value of OMR7,970,000. These contracts involve establishing projects on areas exceeding 165,000 square metres across various sectors, including automotive oil manufacturing, paper and cardboard, food, water, and cosmetics. Said bin Abdullah Al Balushi, Director General of Al Buraimi Industrial City, stated that the industrial city has recorded an outstanding performance during 2024 as the cumulative investment volume has now exceeded OMR274 million. 'This is attributed to the constant efforts by Madayn to create a competitive and attractive business environment for investors, while emphasising on job creation, supporting small and medium enterprises, and promoting economic diversification and sustainable industrial growth in line with Oman Vision 2040." Al Balushi pointed out that the dualisation of Al Buraimi–Mahdah Road, currently being implemented by the relevant authorities in coordination with Madayn, represents a key project of strategic significance, serving as a main artery linking the Wilayat of Mahdah with Al Buraimi Governorate. The road will connect to both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of Al Buraimi Industrial City, providing major solutions for organising entrances and exits to each phase, ensuring smooth access between them, and ultimately serving investors by saving time and effort. He added that Al Buraimi Industrial City signed a cooperation agreement last week with Al Buraimi University College to enhance collaboration through knowledge exchange, events and activities, training of students and national cadres, and support for research and innovation projects. It is worth noting that Al Buraimi Industrial City spans 14,414,294 square metres, of which 4,247,099 square metres area is already developed. Strategically divided into two geographically distinct phases, the industrial city enjoys a prime location along the Sultanate of Oman's border with the United Arab Emirates. This unique positioning offers investors and companies seamless access to the GCC markets—particularly the UAE—enhancing the city's competitive advantage through efficient cross-border trade, streamlined logistics, and proximity to major highways that connect directly to key Omani ports such as Sohar Port. Al Buraimi Industrial City is home to a diverse range of sectors, including food industries, manufacturing, logistics and warehouse services, as well as chemical and plastics industries—making it a dynamic hub for industrial growth and regional connectivity.
