Eviq in deal to set up EV charging infrastructure within New Murabba
Saudi Arabia:
Saudi Arabia's New Murabba Development Company has signed a strategic agreement
with Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Company (Eviq) for deployment of EV
charging infrastructure across key assets within its giga-project - New Murabba,
thus supporting the kingdom’s transition toward sustainable mobility.
A 19-sq-km urban destination, the New Murabba will be built around the concept
of sustainability and offer a unique living, working and entertainment
experience.
Once completed, New Murabba will boast more than 100,000 residential units, over
10,000 hotel room keys, schools, hospitals, and healthcare facilities.
At the heart of the project is the iconic, technological and cultural wonder,
The Mukaab, a premium mixed-use landmark that integrates retail, cultural,
tourism, hospitality, residential, commercial, and recreational components, said
the developer.
Designed as one of the world’s largest built structures, the 247-acre Mukaab
will anchor a new mixed-used modern downtown development.
On the deal, New Murabba said it reflects the group's commitment to integrating
future-ready infrastructure from the earliest stages of development, enhancing
operational readiness while enabling smart and seamless mobility experiences for
future residents, visitors, and employees.
"As we continue progressing into delivery, New Murabba remains focused on
building a globally competitive, future-ready destination aligned with Saudi
Arabia’s sustainability ambitions and Vision 2030," said the company spokesman.
"Under this deal, Eviq will build its EV charging infrastructure across key
destination assets in the kingdom," he stated.
A joint venture between the kingdom's wealth fund PIF and Saudi Electricity
Company, Eviq plays a vital role in boosting the EV adoption across the country
by building best-in-class infrastructure and creating a nationwide network of
fast-charging hubs for electric vehicles across the kingdom.
The company has set a target to deploy more than 5,000 chargers in strategic
locations all over Saudi Arabia, he added.
