Saudi Railways transports 8 million passengers, 15 million tons of freight in H1 2025 performance
Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — Saudi Arabia Railways (SAR) announced record operational results for the first half of 2025, transporting 7.93 million passengers across over 21,000 trips on its North, East, and Haramain High-Speed train networks — an 8% increase compared to the same period in 2024. The strong performance was bolstered by exceptional service during the Hajj season, which saw 1.2 million pilgrims transported via the Haramain line and 1.8 million via the Mashair Metro, totaling over 2,100 Hajj-related train journeys. On the freight side, SAR moved 14.93 million tons of minerals and goods — up 13% year-on-year — helping remove over 700,000 truck trips from the Kingdom's roads. This shift resulted in fuel savings exceeding 72 million liters and a reduction of 190,000 tons in carbon emissions, supporting Saudi Arabia's environmental sustainability goals and logistics efficiency targets. SAR CEO Dr. Bashar Al-Malik said the figures reflect the company's commitment to providing sustainable, efficient transport solutions in alignment with the National Transport and Logistics Strategy. Beyond operations, SAR continues to deliver long-term economic and environmental impact. Its local content initiative, part of the 'Asasat' program, is on track to surpass 60% by the end of the year, supporting national industries and creating quality job opportunities for Saudi talent. Al-Malik also emphasized SAR's vital role in advancing the Saudi Green Initiative by reducing emissions, lowering reliance on conventional trucking, and offering cleaner alternatives that enhance quality of life in cities across the Kingdom.

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade Costs More, But Delivers More Too
Hyundai has officially introduced the second-generation Palisade, and while the 2026 Hyundai Palisade price has increased, so has what the SUV brings to the table. From enhanced design and digital upgrades to the debut of a hybrid powertrain, the new model aims to justify its higher cost with meaningful improvements. New Pricing Across the Lineup The base 2026 Palisade SE, featuring a front-wheel-drive system and a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 287 horsepower and 282 Nm of torque, starts at $40,430 with destination included. That's $1,735 more than the 2025 model. The pricing structure has shifted throughout the range: SE: $40,430 (SAR 151,612) SEL: $42,935 (SAR 161,006) SEL Convenience: $44,365 (SAR 166,369) SEL Premium: $46,295 (SAR 173,606) Limited: $50,765 (SAR 190,543) XRT Pro (off-road): $50,865 (SAR 190,994) Calligraphy (luxury): $55,555 (SAR 208,333) Each trim level sees a modest price bump, but the new features aim to deliver more than just visual changes. Larger, Smarter, and More Refined Visually, the 2026 Palisade takes on a more assertive design, with a wider stance and longer dimensions contributing to improved cabin space. Inside, the dual 12.3-inch curved screens enhance driver interaction, while an integrated dash cam system now comes standard. Even base trims benefit from a tech-forward interior, creating a more connected driving experience. The new XRT Pro trim also enters the scene, targeted at customers seeking more rugged capability. It adds off-road focused upgrades like increased ground clearance, a limited-slip differential, and all-terrain tires. A First for the Palisade: Hybrid Efficiency One of the most notable changes is the introduction of a hybrid model. The 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid pairs a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine with two electric motors, generating a combined 329 hp and 460 Nm of torque. It's a clear move toward improved fuel economy and lower emissions—without sacrificing power. Pricing for the hybrid variants is as follows: Hybrid Base: $45,155 (SAR 169,169) SEL Premium Hybrid: $48,515 (SAR 181,931) Limited Hybrid: $52,985 (SAR 198,694) Calligraphy Hybrid: $57,775 (SAR 216,656) More Features, More Justification While the 2026 Hyundai Palisade price has climbed, the added content brings a stronger case for value. The V6 continues to offer solid performance, now accompanied by a hybrid that expands the SUV's appeal. The overall driving experience, interior tech, and versatility have all been elevated—making the price increase feel more like an investment in quality rather than an arbitrary markup. Final Verdict The 2026 Palisade arrives with a higher price, but also with more to offer. Buyers looking for a well-rounded family SUV will find that Hyundai has added substance along with cost—bringing meaningful upgrades in design, capability, and efficiency to its flagship three-row vehicle.
