UAE: BMW Group Selected as VIP E-Mobility Provider at COP28

BMW Group has announced its role as the VIP E-Mobility Provider for COP28 UAE, which will take place from November 30 to December 12, 2023, in Dubai.

As part of its contribution to COP28, BMW Group will deploy a fleet of BMW i7, BMW iX and BMW iX5 Hydrogen for the exclusive use of VIP guests and officials during COP28.

The flagship BMW i7 carries the hallmark of Middle Eastern innovation and ingenuity, with key components crafted using sustainably-sourced solar electrons produced in the UAE by Emirates Global Aluminum, contributing to a significant reduction in greenhouse emissions during the production cycle.

The BMW iX5 Hydrogen has just successfully completed intensive hot-weather tests in the United Arab Emirates. The pilot vehicle is highly suited to long journeys and short refuelling stops, while also featuring a locally emissions-free drive. Subject to the corresponding framework conditions, its hydrogen fuel cell technology has the potential to be another pillar in the future BMW Group drive portfolio.

Commenting on the announcement, Christian Bahoo, Global Head of Special Political Engagement, BMW Group, said: “The COP28 UAE Presidency’s vision correlates with BMW’s commitment to technology-oriented solutions and the Paris Climate Agreement. At COP28, the BMW Group will present solutions and discuss the requirements that we consider necessary to achieve the transformation to sustainable mobility.”
