EV company NWTN to set up manufacturing base in Kizad – The National

Electric vehicle company NWTN is partnering with UAE-based Sultan Investments to set up a manufacturing base in Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (Kizad) as it expands its global network.

The EV SKD assembly base will be built in two phases, the company said on Monday. SKD, or semi knocked down, refers to the partial assembly of products in the manufacturing of a vehicle.

In phase one, NWTN plans to have 24,000 square metres of manufacturing, testing, inventory and storage space, with an annual capacity of 5,000 to 10,000 units. The first phase is due to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022.
