Fully electric Lotus Emeya-S joins Dubai Police luxury fleet
To reinforce Dubai Police's commitment to sustainability and innovation, the Tourist Police Department at the General Department of Criminal Investigation has officially added the fully electric Lotus Emeya-S to its luxury patrol fleet.
The unveiling took place at the Dubai World Trade Centre during the World Police Summit.
The new patrol was officially unveiled by His Excellency Expert Major General Khalil Ibrahim Al Mansouri, Assistant Commander-in-Chief for Criminal Investigation Affairs at Dubai Police, in the presence of HE Major General Dr. Adel Al Suwaidi, Director of Jebel Ali Police Station; HE Major General Muhammad Al Adhab, Director of the Mounted Police Station; Brigadier Harib Al Shamsi, Director of the General Department of Criminal Investigation; Brigadier Khalfan Al Jallaf, Director of the Tourist Police Department; Lieutenant Colonel Muhammad Abdulrahman, Deputy Director; and Lieutenant Colonel Mousa Mubarak Abdullah, Head of Security Patrols, along with senior officers and Mr. Ramzi Al Atat, Regional Marketing and PR Director at Lotus.
An Eco-Luxury Performance Marvel
Major General Al Mansouri was briefed on the vehicle's specifications: a fully electric luxury car that can travel up to 600 kilometres on a single charge, reach a top speed of 250 km/h, deliver 603 horsepower, and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds. The Lotus Emeya-S also boasts a futuristic design, advanced entertainment systems, autonomous driving features, and state-of-the-art digital displays.
He praised the partnership with Lotus, emphasising that incorporating electric luxury vehicles aligns with Dubai Police's strategy to enhance patrol presence in high-profile tourist destinations such as Burj Khalifa, Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, and JBR, while upgrading the overall patrol fleet with the latest technologies.
'These vehicles not only elevate the image of Dubai Police but also enable officers to engage with residents and tourists by offering information, guidance, and promoting the community role of the force,' said Al Mansouri.
Commitment to Sustainability
Mr. Ramzi Al Atat expressed pride in continuing the partnership with Dubai Police following the earlier addition of the Lotus Eletre R to the patrol fleet. 'We're delighted to collaborate once again with Dubai Police's Tourist Patrol, reflecting our shared commitment to sustainability and innovation. Using environmentally friendly vehicles in public service demonstrates the force's forward-thinking approach.'
The ceremony concluded with Dubai Police presenting a commemorative plaque to Mr. Al Atat and a group photo to mark the occasion.

China factory activity hits lowest since 2022, survey shows
Chinese factory activity hit a more than two-year low in May, a closely watched survey showed Tuesday, as a detente in Beijing's trade war with Washington was offset by ongoing domestic problems in the world's number two economy. China and the United States agreed last month to temporarily halt most tit-for-tat tariffs on each other's goods, providing some much-needed relief to global markets. But the standoff has still piled further pressure on China's economy, which already faced a long-running real-estate crisis, sluggish consumption and high levels of local government debt. The Caixin Purchasing Managers' Index, independently calculated by S&P Global and Chinese business outlet Caixin, fell to 48.3 in May, well below the 50-point threshold separating expansion from contraction. The figure was the lowest since September 2022 and well below the 50.4 seen in April. It was also sharply off the 50.7 forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists. "The surprisingly sharp fall... means that the survey data now point to a loss of economic momentum last month," said Zichun Huang, China economist at Capital Economics. "Domestic headwinds (are) more than offsetting the boost from the US-China trade truce," she said. Wang Zhe, senior economist at Caixin Insight Group, said the slowdown was linked to "sluggish external demand, which fell for a second straight month". The country should target effective measures to boost domestic demand by improving household incomes, Wang added. Official data from the National Bureau of Statistics on Saturday showed a less severe contraction in the factory sector last month. While the NBS figure focuses on large state-owned industrial groups, the Caixin index primarily surveys small and medium-sized enterprises. But in a positive sign, a business sentiment survey by S&P Global and Caixin showed a slight improvement in May after a record drop in April, thanks to expectations of stronger foreign trade through the rest of the year.

Egypt's PMI rises to 49.5 in May, still below growth threshold
Arab Finance: Business conditions in Egypt's non-oil private sector softened in May, with the latest S&P Global Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) report showing tentative signs of stabilization as contractions in output and new orders eased. The headline PMI rose to 49.5 in May from 48.5 in April, its highest level in three months, but remained below the 50.0 threshold that separates growth from contraction. The latest reading, however, surpassed the long-run average of 48.2, signaling a relative downturn in operating conditions for the third month in a row. Fewer firms reported declines in customer demand during May, leading to only slight reductions in output and new business at slower rates compared to April. Still, companies cut purchasing activity at the fastest pace since October 2024, with total employment falling for a fourth consecutive month. Most job cuts were attributed to not replacing voluntary leavers, with a little change in unfinished business. Input cost inflation accelerated to its highest level this year, driven by rising supplier prices and volatile exchange rates, particularly against the USD. Businesses pointed to higher fuel, cement, and paper costs, while wage expenses increased slightly. In response, selling prices rose sharply in May for seven months, following flatlining in April, as firms passed on part of the cost burden to customers. Despite these challenges, business confidence improved slightly from April. However, expectations for future activity remained historically subdued, with many firms citing persistent inflationary pressures and weak demand as ongoing concerns. © 2020-2023 Arab Finance For Information Technology.

Egypt's non-oil private sector contraction slows in May, PMI shows
CAIRO - Activity in Egypt's non-oil private sector edged closer to stability in May, with softer contractions in new business and output, according to an S&P Global survey released on Tuesday. The headline seasonally adjusted S&P Global Egypt Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 49.5 from 48.5 in April, remaining below the 50.0 threshold that separates growth from contraction. Output and new orders continued to decline, but at a slower pace compared to April, as fewer companies reported cutbacks in customer sales. However, businesses reduced purchasing activity at the fastest rate in seven months and trimmed their workforces, with employment dropping for the fourth month in a row. The output sub-index strengthened to 49.5 from 47.4 in April, while the new orders subindex rose to 49.1 from 47.4. Input price inflation increased sharply, driven by rising supplier charges and volatile exchange rates. This led to a fresh rise in selling prices as firms passed on some of the cost increases to customers. "Although many of the key PMI metrics continued to indicate a deterioration in business conditions in May, the overall pace of decline was not as sharp as in April and softer than the survey's historical trend," said S&P Global Market Intelligence economist David Owen. "Output and new orders fell at the slowest rates for three months, helped by renewed growth in the manufacturing sector." Non-oil businesses in Egypt remained cautious about the future, with optimism slightly improved from April but still weak by historical standards. Concerns over stubborn price pressures and low demand continued to weigh on output expectations, S&P Global said. The future output index improved to 53.0 from 52.7 in April.
