Yalla TV launches Green Mobility initiative to support UAE's Net Zero 2050 vision
Yalla Green Mobility aims to inspire change by promoting awareness, community engagement and eco-innovation.
Yalla TV, the UAE's media house, has launched Yalla Green Mobility (YGM), a nationwide initiative aimed at advancing sustainability and aligning with the country's Net Zero 2050 strategic vision. This new effort underscores the media company's belief that media can act as a powerful agent of environmental change, not just a passive commentator.
Set to roll out throughout 2025 and beyond, Yalla Green Mobility will feature a range of interactive activities designed to raise awareness, foster community involvement, and encourage eco-innovation. The initiative will spotlight future-focused mobility solutions and create space for meaningful dialogue and engagement around sustainable living.
From showcasing electric and hybrid vehicle technology to launching creative media series and digital campaigns featuring sustainability champions, YGM aims to make environmental consciousness part of everyday life. Community events, educational programmes and green campaigns will form the core of the initiative, with a strong emphasis on partnerships across government, educational institutions and progressive brands.
Barbie Nuki, Founder and CEO of Yalla TV and Director and Founder of Yalla Green Mobility, said: 'We believe media is not just a mirror to society, but a driver of meaningful transformation. With Yalla Green Mobility, we are not only reaffirming our commitment to the UAE's Net Zero 2050 initiative but also bringing the conversation around sustainability into everyday lives — through experience, education, and empowerment.'
Positioned as more than just a campaign, YGM is being framed as a movement — one that calls on individuals and institutions alike to join in shaping a greener, more sustainable future. By connecting innovation with action, Yalla TV hopes to cultivate a platform where ideas flourish, partnerships are forged, and collective efforts create real impact as the UAE accelerates its sustainability agenda.

Dubai: Mega car fair to let visitors test drive over 70 EVs from 20 global brands
Dubai is set to host one of the largest electric car experiences in the region, with over 70 electric vehicles (EVs) from more than 20 global brands available for test drives at the Yalla Green Mobility Show. The event, taking place at Dubai Autodrome on November 23 this year, raises awareness of green mobility in the UAE. From speed testing to simulators Visitors will have the chance to test drive the latest EVs and experience what clean, sustainable driving feels like, right on the track. According to organisers, each brand will showcase three to five different models, and registered participants can drive any number of cars throughout the day. Every test drive will last about 15 minutes, with over 500 test drives expected to take place during the event. 'There will be simulators, speed testing, and a chance to check out all the car features,' said Aakash Pandey, COO of Yalla Green Mobility. 'We are expecting over 3,000 visitors, and it's going to be a full day of driving, learning, and fun. The idea is to promote sustainability in mobility and encourage people to try clean driving options.' Organisers are aiming to set a world record for the largest sustainable test drive in a single day, with more than 500 electric vehicles taking to the track. According to Sal Jafar, CEO of Aerospace and ESG MENA, the electric vehicle market in the UAE is expanding rapidly. 'There are currently 200,000 EVs on UAE roads. Last year, it was around 139,000. By the end of 2029, that number is expected to hit half a million,' he said. 'The UAE is well-prepared to handle that growth. Our EV infrastructure is already above global standards and is only getting better,' added Sal. He added that EVs can also be easier on the wallet. 'A motorist can save around Dh1,500 in fuel and maintenance, since electric cars don't need petrol or regular oil changes,' he said. 'Raising awareness like this is great, not just for individuals, but for the environment too.' How to register Entry to the test drive area will require pre-registration, and participants will receive a time slot for their driving experience. Registration details and tickets will be available soon via online channels.

With strong support from government and private partners, the show aims to accelerate EV adoption and empower people to take steps toward a cleaner, greener future. The show will also feature clean-tech startups, food trucks, family-friendly activities, and panel discussions with top leaders in the industry.
