TASARU and Blacklane drive Saudi Arabia's future of mobility
Saudi Arabia is undergoing a mobility transformation, one that mirrors the ambitions of Vision 2030 and the expectations of a digitally native, innovative-driven population. As cities expand and lifestyles evolve, the Kingdom is investing heavily in sustainable, tech-forward transportation solutions that match its bold economic and environmental goals. TASARU Mobility Investments is enabling the development of a smarter, greener transport ecosystem through strategic investments in partners like Blacklane. As a wholly owned entity of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, TASARU supports the transformation of the Kingdom's mobility sector by accelerating electrification, digitalization, and service excellence. Through this enabling role, TASARU is helping shape a new era of transport in Saudi Arabia in line with the goals of Vision 2030. TASARU's flagship collaboration is with Blacklane, the global chauffeur service renowned for premium, sustainable rides, which is now operating in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Madinah and Makkah. Blacklane blends global standards with local expectations in a market actively redefining luxury mobility. 'Saudi Arabia is setting the pace for how luxury mobility will evolve globally,' said Jens Wohltorf, founder and CEO of Blacklane. 'Together with TASARU, we're delivering seamless, high-quality experiences that blend luxury with sustainability values that resonate deeply with our guests and Vision 2030.' Blacklane's expansion is underpinned by a growing fleet of electric vehicles and a commitment to local innovation. The company is working closely with Lucid Motors, whose Lucid Air and upcoming Gravity SUV will soon be integrated into Blacklane towards the end of 2025, bringing cutting-edge EV performance to the streets of Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, EVIQ, the Kingdom's EV infrastructure leader, is providing the charging backbone for this EV expansion. In addition to building out charging networks, EVIQ is co-developing training programs through Blacklane's Chauffeur Training Academy, ensuring drivers are equipped with the latest in EV safety, charging, and service excellence. Blacklane's vision for premium mobility is expanding beyond the road, with new initiatives seamlessly connecting air and ground travel. A key example is the partnership with Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia's national airline, which offers complimentary chauffeur services within a 50 km radius of King Khalid International Airport. The service is available to Business Elite, Business Class, and eligible loyalty members, delivering a world-class hospitality experience from touchdown to final destination. The company's services are already seeing strong traction. Airport transfers and city-to-city travel is performing exceptionally well, with intercity bookings showing sustained growth. Blacklane is also piloting a new 'faster-pickups' service in Riyadh's King Abdullah Financial District, designed to reduce wait times and enhance convenience for business travelers. 'This is just the beginning of a long-term commitment to sustainable innovation in the Kingdom,' said Adib Samara, general manager for Saudi Arabia at Blacklane. 'We're listening closely to the market and evolving with it.' The evolution is being enabled by TASARU, whose strategic backing has supported Blacklane's expansion across the Kingdom. The partnership is grounded in a shared commitment to a smarter, greener future aligned with Vision 2030. 'TASARU's investment in Blacklane reflects our mission to power a new era of mobility in Saudi Arabia. By enabling sustainable transport solutions and nurturing local capabilities, we are building a future-ready ecosystem fully aligned with Vision 2030,' said Michael Müller, CEO of TASARU Mobility Investments.

Chinese Cars Accelerate Their Growth in the UAE Market
Over the past few years, Chinese car brands have gone from underdogs to global contenders, reversing a once-weak reputation in Arab markets—especially in terms of quality and technological sophistication. Today, they are strongly associated with cutting-edge innovation, particularly as the electric vehicle sector gains momentum. This transformation has even been acknowledged by senior executives at major global automakers, who now view China as a pioneering force in automotive technology and innovation. In the UAE, this success story is no different. According to recent figures from Al-Futtaim Motors, Chinese vehicles captured between 15% and 20% of new car sales in the country during the first half of 2025, averaging about 17.5% of the total market share. BYD Al-Futtaim Leading the Charge Speaking to the media, Mohammed Qassim, General Manager of Retail at BYD Al-Futtaim, highlighted the remarkable and accelerating growth of Chinese cars in the UAE. He stressed that these models are no longer seen purely as budget-friendly options—they now combine advanced technology, premium build quality, and contemporary design. Qassim attributed this success to substantial investments by Chinese automakers in research and development, with a strong focus on innovation in electric and hybrid vehicles, all offered at competitive price points. Qassim noted that BYD's sales have steadily increased with each new model release, particularly in the electric vehicle segment, where the brand enjoys a leading position in the local market. This dominance is supported by a diverse lineup catering to a wide range of consumer needs. He emphasized that BYD's dedication to producing high-quality EVs with long driving ranges, advanced features, and accessible pricing has resonated with UAE customers, who are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of sustainable mobility. Positive Outlook for 2025 Looking ahead, Qassim expressed strong optimism for further expansion, predicting that the share of Chinese cars in the UAE will grow significantly in 2025 compared to 2024. He cited several driving factors: rising consumer confidence in Chinese brands' design, features, and reliability; continuous introduction of innovative models driven by major R&D investments; and robust demand for electric vehicles, supported by the UAE's forward-looking vision for sustainable transportation. He also underlined the critical role of after-sales service networks and logistical support from local dealers such as Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility, which reinforce trust and customer satisfaction. Competitive pricing, he added, continues to be a major draw, offering exceptional value for money and appealing to a broad customer base. Qassim concluded by predicting that the sector's growth rate could surpass 20% in 2025, building on an already strong and steadily expanding sales foundation.
