DUBAI, UAE, April 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- NWTN Inc. (Nasdaq: NWTN), an eco-conscious mobility technology company bringing passenger-centric green premium mobility solutions to the world ("NWTN"), today announced that its first electric vehicle ("EV") assembly facility located in the Khalifa Economic Zone Abu Dhabi ("KEZAD") was successfully accredited with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 - Integrated Management System ("IMS"). The ISO certifications represent NWTN's commitment to high standards of quality management, environmental management, and safety management.

The IMS standard is based on a number of quality, health, safety, and environment management principles for businesses, including a strong customer focus, the commitment and motivation of top management, a process approach and a dedication to continual improvement. 

NWTN management believes the ISO IMS accreditations will help improve service for customers, as they are designed to assist companies in making its business operations more efficient and maintaining a high standard of service delivery. NWTN believes these accreditations will support NWTN's goal of being customer centric in the international electric vehicle market.

NWTN is extremely proud of this achievement as it will assist its KEZAD facility in continually improving the quality of its products and services, which in turn may serve to increase the satisfaction of customers, employees, shareholders, and suppliers. As the first UAE-based EV company listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, NWTN has received strong financial and policy support from the local government.

NWTN completed construction of its facility in KEAZD at the end of 2022. The facility measures approximately 270,000 square feet and received its commercial and industrial licences in February of 2023. The KEZAD facility enables NWTN to address the rapidly growing demand for EVs in the UAE and the Middle East, promote green mobility, and accelerate sustainable energy transformation in the UAE. At present, the production line is nearly complete, and NWTN has been working with BASF, the chemical company for paint surface refinishing as well as manufacturing safety training. Thanks to the unique capital and location advantages of the UAE, as well as opportunities to capitalize on an advanced supply chain system in China, NWTN believes it has the potential to become a dazzling pearl in the global new energy industry chain.

In another development, NWTN completed a customer order with the delivery of 10 range-extended electric vehicles ("R-EEV") this past week.  The delivery marks a new milestone of NWTN's plan to provide the UAE market with a range of innovative products and solutions to promote the region's transformation to sustainable energy.  The R-EEVs are uniquely suited to the UAE market.  The vehicle's range-extended technology is designed to overcome the problems of limited charging facilities in the UAE and long-distance travel in the country.
