Delegates of the recent Green Hydrogen Summit Oman (GHSO) embarked on a journey from Dubai to Sohar, driving a fleet of the BMW iX5 Hydrogen, marking a significant milestone in the pursuit of sustainable mobility. Led by Dr Jurgen Guldner, General Manager of Hydrogen at BMW Group, the drive also highlighted BMW’s commitment to establishing a sustainable hydrogen infrastructure, working hand-in-hand with key regional stakeholders.
Over the course of the drive, the BMW iX5 Hydrogen demonstrated their viability and practicality as advanced sustainable mobility solutions. The journey culminated at Sohar Port, with an informative workshop focusing on the role of hydrogen fuel cell technology in future mobility. The session emphasised the crucial role of hydrogen fuel technology in accelerating the transition towards sustainable mobility and its potential for large-scale reductions emissions alongside battery electric vehicles.
In addition to the drive from Dubai to Oman, BMW Group Middle East has been actively collaborating with key stakeholders across the region, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, the UAE, and the Sultanate, to foster sustainable hydrogen infrastructure development. These efforts focus on demonstrating first-hand experiences with the fleet and the exchange of invaluable insights with key stakeholders, as the region looks to expand the overall hydrogen economy.

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.
