JBM Electric Vehicles, a leading Indian manufacturer of electric buses, has entered into a strategic partnership with Dubai-based Al Habtoor Motors to launch its range of electric buses in the United Arab Emirates. As part of this collaboration, Al Habtoor Motors will serve as the exclusive importer and distributor of JBM’s electric buses across the UAE. The partnership includes support for after-sales service and the development of a dedicated infrastructure network to ensure smooth deployment across the country.
“The UAE is a key market for us. We are excited to support the government’s efforts toward cleaner transportation and sustainable mobility,” said Nishant Arya, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, JBM Auto.

Both companies share the goal of contributing to the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative by offering advanced electric mobility solutions that reduce emissions, cut operational costs, and modernize the region’s public transport systems.

With JBM’s reliable EV platform and our strong presence in the region, we are confident in delivering transport solutions that meet the UAE’s growing demand for sustainable alternatives,” said Ahmed Al Habtoor, CEO of Al Habtoor Motors.
