The Autonomous e-Mobility Forum (AEMOB) is proud to announce a strategic collaboration with the Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZ), marking a milestone in the journey to advance the conversation on autonomous e-mobility on a global scale.
Scheduled to convene in Doha, Qatar from April 30th to May 2nd, 2024, the AEMOB Forum serves as a pioneering platform for international stakeholders in the realm of driverless e-mobility.
This collaboration represents a convergence of expertise and vision, harnessing QFZ’s unique position in facilitating trade and investment to propel the e-mobility ecosystem forward, and leveraging the strategic advantages of Qatar's free zones to catalyze the development and deployment of next-generation e-mobility technologies.
Mr Abdulla Hamad Al Binali, QFZ’s Investor Relations & Technical Support Director, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration and expanded on QFZ’s role in the advanced mobility sector: "Our collaboration with the Autonomous e-Mobility Forum aligns with the framework of our vision to focus on emerging technology and contribute to achieving the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030, especially with regard to promoting economic diversification and technological innovation in the State of Qatar. QFZ sees the huge potential of e-mobility and is already a valuable platform to host the latest technologies, including electric and autonomous mobility. Therefore, we always aim to be at the forefront of digital future prospects, where new mobility solutions drive sustainable, smart cities and enhance environmental sustainability. We are proud of working towards this alongside the Ministry of Transport and the Autonomous e-Mobility Forum."
Mr. Ahmad Al Ansari, Executive Committee Member at AEMOB Forum, echoed these sentiments, adding: “The collaboration between AEMOB and Qatar Free Zones Authority is a testament to the commitment of both organizations to drive innovation and sustainable growth. By bringing together global expertise and resources, we aim to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles and autonomous technologies, paving the way for a cleaner and more efficient transportation system. This partnership exemplifies our shared vision of creating a future where autonomous e-mobility is accessible, reliable, and environmentally friendly.”
This partnership represents a cornerstone for the AEMOB Forum 2024, serving as an opportunity for meaningful connections between industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators. Through collaborative efforts, the Forum and QFZ aim to accelerate the understanding of electric vehicles (EV) solutions, positioning Qatar as a global hub for exploring this transformative field.
Aligned with the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030, the alliance underscores QFZ and Forum's commitment to enabling the conversation on sustainable development and shaping a future where autonomous e-mobility plays a central role.

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.
