The Middle East market presents an exciting opportunity for smart and autonomous vehicles and is well aligned with FF product technology and brand positioning.

FF has made significant strides in 2023 by delivering vehicles, generating revenue, and increasing production volume at its manufacturing facility in Central California.

Further strengthening FF’s entry into the EV market, the Company has announced a number of influential Co-Creation partners as the first owners of the vehicle. FF’s Co-Creation initiative reflects an embodiment of the Company’s spirit to place its users at the center of everything it does. The Company believes this strategy provides a competitive edge, ensuring that FF’s vehicles are both technologically advanced and deeply aligned with the evolving desires and needs of FF’s target customers.

“We are delighted to form this strategic cooperation with Master Investment Group and Siraj Holding LLC, which will open the door to our global expansion in the Middle East market,” said Matthias Aydt, Global CEO of FF. “FF continues to make tremendous progress with our operations. The team’s collective expertise and passion underscores our readiness to enter markets like the Middle East. We look forward to this being our first of many future events and collaborations around the globe.”
