ROX has launched local vehicle production in Abu Dhabi following the completion of its Advanced AI Manufacturing Centre in the KEZAD zone. The first three ROX ADAMAS vehicles, labeled “Made in the Emirates”, have emerged from the production line.

The facility, situated on a 10,000-square-meter site, is capable of sub-assembly for over 80 component types, full vehicle assembly, calibration, and testing. This initiative is part of a partnership with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) to localize technology and supply chains, supporting the “Make it in the Emirates” program and the “Operation 300Bn” national strategy.

Initial production capacity is projected to reach 20,000 vehicles annually by 2027, with long-term objectives to scale up to 300,000 vehicles per year by 2030.
