The 130k sqm facility will be split across two zones: a Global Logistic Park in the freezone will include vehicle and parts warehouses, re-export operations, and light processing units, while an AI Smart Manufacturing Park in the mainland zone will feature a semi-knocked-down EV assembly plant, smart hardware production lines, and scalable infrastructure for future full-vehicle manufacturing.

The bigger picture: The project is part of NWTN’s wider push to localize manufacturing, build out autonomous and AI-enabled systems, and develop blockchain-based product platforms. It also plans to use Kezad’s logistics infrastructure to support faster distribution across the GCC, Mena, and Southern Europe.

More to come? NWTN is currently seeking partnerships with regional tech firms, investors, and distributors to support the buildout, the statement reads.
