BMW Group Middle East announces the release of a comprehensive whitepaper, based on key sustainability insights from the region’s first BMW Group Dialogues held in Dubai.
Key insights from the Dialogues include:
• The Regional Energy Transition: The Middle East considers the energy challenge as a strategic opportunity to leverage its expertise in the petrochemical value chain to play a leading role in the development of green mobility energies, including Hydrogen.
• Circularity Matters: The carbon footprint of mobility extends well beyond the active life of a vehicle, and includes sourcing of the materials for manufacturing, to the recyclability at the end of a vehicle’s life.
• Future mobility will be multimodal: Sustainable mobility will seamlessly integrate energy-efficient modes of public transport and shared mobility solutions.
Since 2011, over 35 Dialogues have been held globally across Europe, the US and Asia. This milestone event marks the first time a Dialogue has been hosted in the Middle East. The event brought together key stakeholders to discuss the pressing issue of climate change and the decarbonization of the mobility sector. The discussion centred around regional energy transition, which BMW Group has been advocating during, and outside of, COP28 UAE.
Attendees included the Consul General of Germany, along with several prominent CEOs and senior executives from across the region. An expert panel brought together specialists in climate action to share their insights. The whitepaper, delivered digitally on https://www.bmw-dubai.com/whitepaper/, provides an overview of the topic, highlighting key findings and insights from the stakeholders.
The findings present a regional perspective on the climate crisis and outline actionable steps towards mitigating climate change and promoting sustainable mobility. Dialogues and the
whitepaper emphasise the BMW Group’s dedication to fostering environmental stewardship and engaging diverse stakeholders in shaping a sustainable future.
“The Middle East's first BMW Group Dialogues underscores our commitment to collaborative sustainability. We are at a stage where we must take a collective approach to the climate crisis and the global community must unite to produce viable solutions to safeguard our planet. The Dialogues represent a key step in aligning regional perspectives with global sustainability goals, addressing crucial topics of the regional energy transition and sustainable mobility."
“Through the insightful discussions that took place amongst our guests and expert panel, we were able to ignite a united passion for sustainability, with each participant contributing to actionable steps that can be made towards our shared goals in the region,” said Dr. Hamid Haqparwar,
Managing Director of BMW Group Middle East.
“This Dialogue and the subsequent whitepaper underscore our commitment to creating a sustainable future for the region, by identifying challenges and working collaboratively on realistic, practical methods to address climate change.”
Sustainability is at the core of BMW Group’s corporate strategy, with an emphasis on long-term thinking and responsible action. The Dialogues and the whitepaper demonstrate this commitment and also align with the wider goals of the COP28 UAE climate action summit, particularly the energy transition pillar.

For more than 20 years, the Cayenne has been characterised by its ability to provide the broad range of qualities between characteristic Porsche driving performance, excellent comfort in everyday driving, and great capability when driving off-road. The future models of the SUV will seamlessly continue this success story, retaining all of the car’s familiar features.
“The Cayenne has always defined the sports car in its segment. In the middle of the decade, the fourth generation will set standards in the segment as an electric SUV,” said Blume, CEO of Porsche AG. At the same time, into the next decade our customers will still be able to choose from a wide range of powerful and efficient combustion and hybrid models.
"The third generation of the Cayenne will be further upgraded and will continue to be offered alongside the fourth, all-electric generation".
The current Cayenne generation, which last year was given one of the most extensive product upgrades in the history of Porsche, will be further developed with major technological investment in the future. Here the developers will be focusing, among other things, on the powertrains, in particular on improving the efficiency of the V8 developed by Porsche and built at the Zuffenhausen engine plant. Extensive technical measures will ensure that the twin-turbo engine is ready to comply with future legislative requirements.
In a bold move against the prevailing headwinds in the electric vehicle (EV) industry, VinFast, the young Vietnamese EV manufacturer, is forging ahead with its ambitious global expansion plans. While major players like Apple have recently abandoned their decade-long pursuit of an electric vehicle, and others are scaling back their ambitions, VinFast remains undeterred. Having already established a presence in the U.S., Canada, and Southeast Asia, the company is now setting its sights on the Middle Eastern market.
Hyundai is set to debut its three-row electric SUV later this year, a move that signifies the automaker's bold step into the large electric vehicle (EV) market. This new SUV, anticipated to be named the Ioniq 9, is poised to be Hyundai’s equivalent to the Kia EV9, offering a spacious and eco-friendly alternative to its popular Palisade.
