GM AMEO doubles down on plans for electric future in Mideast

General Motors Africa and Middle East (GM AMEO) is forging towards its vision for an electric future in the Middle East, confirming the fourth of 13 electric vehicles set for the region by 2025.

Showcasing an array of cutting-edge technology that will redefine the future of mobility, GM AMEO said the Chevrolet Blazer EV SUV, launching in 2024, will join the Cadillac LYRIQ, GMC HUMMER EV and Chevrolet Bolt EUV – all slated to arrive in the region by 2023.

The addition cements GM’s aim to lead the EV market with the broadest line-up, offering an EV for every need and every wallet. It also meets the intensifying interest for electric vehicles across the GCC, with Saudi Arabia and the UAE ranking in the top 50 countries embracing EV transition, according to a global vehicle electrification index collated annually by AlixPartners.

All-electric future

Luay Al Shurafa, President and Managing Director of GM AMEO, said: “The auto industry in the Middle East is transforming at pace, moving further and faster toward an all-electric future, driven by technological advances, visionary government agendas, regional sustainability goals and rising fuel prices. At GM, we are focused on the customers of today and tomorrow, delivering on our Ambidextrous Business
