NWTN Announces AI Industrial Park Project in Abu Dhabi
ABU DHABI, UAE, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NWTN Inc. (NASDAQ: NWTN), a global intelligent mobility and AI technology company, today announced the official launch of the "NWTN AI Industrial Park" (NAIP) Project. The project is located in Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD), covering approximately 130,000 square meters, signaling the start of NWTN's transformation from a new energy vehicle manufacturer to a global intelligent technology producer and enabler. Project Overview: Building the AI Manufacturing Hub for the Middle East According to the plan, NAIP will include two major zones: Global Logistic Park in Free Zone: This area will house a state-of-the-art cross-border supply chain hub, including vehicle and parts warehouses, a re-export trade platform, and "light processing" and repackaging factories. It will primarily serve the speed delivery needs in the Middle East, Africa, and Southern Europe. AI Smart Manufacturing Park in the Mainland Zone: This section will feature a modern SKD (Semi Knocked Down) vehicle assembly plant, and key components and smart hardware production. The site is designed with future scalability with a complete vehicle manufacturing capacity. NAIP will follow a digital, modular, and scalable design philosophy, integrating AI-driven production control systems to create a smart manufacturing chain—from parts warehousing and semi-finished assembly to final vehicle delivery—supporting NWTN's long-term "Made in UAE, Delivered Globally" strategy. KEZAD: The Growth Engine of UAE's Industrial Transformation KEZAD Group is the UAE's largest provider and operator of fully integrated economic cites, free zones, value-added business services, and staff accommodation, and industrial real estate solutions. KEZAD Group's 12 economic zones (Located in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Dhafra Region) provide an ecosystem combining world-class transportation infrastructure with multimodal connectivity by road, ports, air, and national rail networks, 100% foreign ownership, 100% repatriation of capital and profit, the potential for duty-free trade within the region, and advanced technology platforms that integrate port community systems with the economic zones. KEZAD is also actively upgrading from traditional logistics to high-value manufacturing, green industries, and AI innovation—an ideal fit with NWTN's ambitions. Strategic Upgrade: AI × Intelligent Manufacturing × Global Mobility Ecosystem NAIP reflects NWTN's vision to become a global intelligent technology producer and enabler. The new strategy focuses on three core pillars: Localized Smart Manufacturing: Establish a complete manufacturing ecosystem for AI-powered EVs, components, and smart hardware, enhancing supply chain resilience and delivery agility through "Made in Emirates" solutions. Platformed Technology Ecosystem: Deploy autonomous driving systems, intelligent hardware, and blockchain-based product platforms. The park will act as a manufacturing enabler for a decentralized global mobility ecosystem. Synchronized Global Expansion: Utilize the Free Zone's fast-track customs system to create a "One-Day Delivery Circle" across the GCC, MENA, and Southern Europe, boosting regional market responsiveness. Looking Ahead NWTN aims to commence construction of NAIP in the second half of 2025. The company also plans to establish comprehensive partnerships with regional technology providers, investors, and distributors, building a fully integrated international smart industry cluster. NWTN will go beyond being a NEV producer to a global platform integrating technology, capital, and talent. The NAIP in KEZAD will serve as a strategic foundation for this ambition. About NWTN NWTN Inc. (NASDAQ: NWTN) is a UAE-headquartered smart mobility and technology company, specializing in intelligent electric vehicles, AI-driven hardware, and blockchain-based products for advanced manufacturing.
