The UAE’s electric mobility revolution is shifting into high gear with the highly anticipated Yalla Green Mobility Show, set to take over the Dubai Autodrome on November 23, 2025. Aiming to set a world record for the largest sustainable test drive, this groundbreaking event is more than a showcase — it’s a bold step toward the UAE’s smart and sustainable transport future.
Unveiled at a press conference in Dubai, the event is backed by regional sustainability leaders including Eng. Maitha Alblooshi, Barbie Nuki (Founder of Yalla TV and the event initiative), Sal Jafar (CEO of Aerospace and ESG MENA), and Faisal Al Sahlawi, General Manager of Dubai Autodrome. Together, they represent a shared vision: to accelerate awareness and access to clean mobility technologies across the UAE. The UAE currently has more than 200,000 EVs on the roads, up from 139,000 last year.
“This isn’t just a test drive — it’s a movement,” the organizers declared. “We are uniting innovation, community, and purpose to transform how we think about mobility.
The show is poised to make history with over 500 electric vehicles test-driven in a single day, offering a rare opportunity for the public to experience clean driving options across more than 70 electric vehicle models from 20+ global brands. Each 15-minute test drive will allow visitors to immerse themselves in next-generation EV technology — from acceleration to smart features — all on a professional-grade circuit.
With an expected 3,000+ attendees, the event will be the UAE’s largest public engagement in green mobility to date.
Beyond environmental benefits, the show aims to spotlight the cost savings of electric vehicles — with UAE drivers potentially saving up to AED 1,500 annually on fuel and maintenance.
The Yalla Green Mobility Show is designed as a full-day, family-friendly experience blending education, entertainment, and innovation. Highlights include:
- Hands-on test drives across an array of EVs and clean mobility solutions
- Live panels featuring global sustainability leaders and industry disruptors
- Clean-tech startup exhibitions, simulators, speed testing, and immersive zones
- Art, food trucks, and music curated with eco-conscious flair
Interactive zones will allow attendees to dive deeper into green innovations, while kids and families can enjoy eco-themed activities in a community-forward environment.
Visitors interested in the test drive experience must pre-register online, with designated time slots allocated on a first-come basis. Tickets and registration details will be available soon via Platinumlist and official partner platforms.
The show will be backed by a robust, multi-channel regional and international marketing campaign, featuring influencer activations, storytelling content, broadcast partnerships, and visibility across Europe, Asia, and the wider MENA region — reinforcing the UAE’s leadership in sustainable innovation.
