Road transportation accounts for a significant portion of global greenhouse gas emissions, pushing consumers and corporations toward sustainable alternatives. Stepping up to support this critical shift, Chery UAE, represented by AW Rostamani Group (AWR Group), is serving as the Exclusive VIP Mobility Partner for the 2025 IUCN World Conservation Congress in Abu Dhabi. This partnership isn’t just about providing cars; it’s about putting sustainable mobility into action at the world’s largest environmental decision-making forum.
For the IUCN World Conservation Congress delegates, Chery is providing a fleet of 28 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), including the TIGGO 9 Plug-In Hybrid SUV and the Arrizo 8 Plug-In Hybrid sedan. As Zaher Sabbagh, Director of Chery UAE, noted, this collaboration reinforces the AWR Group’s sustainability legacy and positions Chery as a brand driving innovation with purpose. The fleet will transport VIPs between October 9 and 15, directly linking environmental decision-makers to sustainable transport solutions.
The decision to use PHEVs addresses a key pain point for sustainable adoption in the Gulf region. With long driving distances and hot summers, consumers need vehicles that balance efficiency with reliability. Plug-in hybrids offer the best of both worlds: they provide clean, electric driving for city commutes while featuring a combustion engine for the added reassurance needed on longer regional trips. This practical solution is helping to accelerate broader acceptance of electrified vehicles and supporting national net zero goals.
The Chery brand is strategically aligned with the future of mobility. Global sales of electric cars, which include plug-in hybrids, grew by 35% in 2023, signaling a clear shift in consumer behavior. Projections from BloombergNEF suggest that by 2035, electrified vehicles could account for over 60% of all global passenger vehicle sales. This growth highlights the urgency and necessity of partnerships like this one, which amplify the global agreement for environmental protection.
Furthermore, Chery’s sustainability commitment extends far beyond the showroom. The company focuses on reducing carbon emissions throughout the vehicle lifecycle. This dedication is reflected in its end-of-life practices: by the end of 2023, all Chery models achieved an impressive 95% recyclability rate and an 85% reusability rate. This focus on the full lifecycle demonstrates a meaningful, holistic approach to reducing the brand’s environmental footprint.
The Chery PHEV fleet at the IUCN World Conservation Congress represents a clear, practical commitment to a cleaner future in the Middle East. Chery UAE is pairing product innovation with meaningful community engagement to support a thriving future for sustainable mobility.
