With the incremental weather impacting people across the UAE, one of the region’s largest pre-owned enterprises, Automall, has partnered with leasing powerhouse, Hertz UAE, to launch a new service to ensure uninterrupted mobility for customers, while they wait to replace their damaged vehicles.
Customers can visit Al-Futtaim Automotive’s Automall facilities across the UAE to purchase a quality pre-owned vehicle from its extensive range of over 30 brands, with the company covering the cost of a hire car from Hertz UAE to ensure they are not without transport while their new vehicle is prepared, up to the value of AED 2,000.
Customers can be assured of peace of mind when buying from the range of vehicles available at the Automall facilities across the city, with each vehicle undergoing a rigorous 360-degree service check carried out by trained technicians and at least a one-year warranty.
Automall is part of Al-Futtaim Automotive, the UAE’s largest automotive company spearheading the EV transition across the region. Catering to the growing demand for electrified mobility vehicles, Hertz UAE is the first car rental brand in the UAE to introduce fully electric vehicles in its portfolio. The car rental giant has over 11,000 vehicles in operation in the UAE, 15% of which are either fully electric or hybrid vehicles.

Italy's government is the latest to voice strong opposition to the European Union's plan to phase out new sales of combustion engine vehicles by 2035. While the EU insists that it’s not banning the combustion engine outright, but rather prohibiting vehicles that emit harmful emissions, Italy argues the policy is impractical. Critics believe that unless carbon-neutral synthetic fuels can scale up quickly, the plan will effectively act as a ban. With a tight timeline of just over a decade, many are questioning whether this ambitious goal is realistic.
Italy's Minister of the Environment and Energy Security, Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, has not minced words, calling the EU’s plan “absurd” and labeling it as an "ideological vision" that has already failed. Italy's right-wing government, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, argues that a more pragmatic approach is necessary. Rather than enforcing a strict, one-size-fits-all ban across the 27 EU member states, Italy proposes more flexibility for individual countries in achieving decarbonization targets. Minister Adolfo Urso, in charge of business and Made in Italy, is advocating for an earlier review of the 2035 ban, aiming for 2025 rather than the currently scheduled 2026.
According to Urso, the EU’s insistence on transitioning exclusively to electric vehicles (EVs) by 2035 could destabilize Europe’s car industry. He believes that a more gradual shift from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to EVs would be a more achievable and less risky strategy.
The Hennessey Venom F5-M is an engineering marvel, claiming the title of the most powerful manual transmission car in the world. It’s a supercar designed to push boundaries, and with a monstrous 1,817 horsepower, it does just that. This latest evolution of the Venom F5 Roadster, called the F5-M, is a true enthusiast's dream as it combines raw power with a gated six-speed manual transmission — a rare feature in today’s age of paddle-shifted hypercars.
