Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Continental recently partnered with Huda M. Al Matroushi, the first female Emirati car mechanic, to spread awareness among women on key automotive safety topics, including how to deal with on-road emergencies and basic car maintenance. The collaboration is part of Continental’s global commitment to empower women, and to achieve its Vision Zero goal: Zero Fatalities, Zero Injuries, Zero Crashes. Al Matroushi, who has created history undertaking her personal automotive journey, led a female-focused educational workshop that delved into her remarkable achievement in what has been a traditionally male-dominated industry. Attendees also received a comprehensive introduction to essential car maintenance and the importance of tyre safety. The workshop fostered a vibrant exchange of personal experiences and shed light on the evolving landscape of the industry.

Commenting on her involvement with Continental, Al Matroushi said: “Inspiring women to take charge of their vehicles and ensuring their safety on the road is a mission close to my heart. Together with Continental, we are looking to break barriers and shatter stereotypes, ensuring that women can excel in any field they choose. Through
