Middle Easts $9 Billion EV Opportunity Reaffirms Potential In These Stocks
–News Direct–
The Middle East, a region long known for its oil and gas riches, is transitioning to a new, more sustainable future, potentially dominated by electric vehicles.
The UAE, for instance, has launched several initiatives over the past years to encourage the adoption of EVs among its residents. Strategies like the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030 aim to have around 42,000 electric cars on Dubais streets by the end of this decade. Currently, the UAE is ranked 7th globally and is the top country in the MENA region on the Global Electric Mobility Readiness Index (Gemrix), demonstrating the nations dedication to sustainable transportation and its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
Like the UAE, the Saudi government has also taken significant steps to drive EV adoption, including funding infrastructure. Since 2021, the Saudi Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Development Initiative (SEVCIDI) has been working towards a goal of installing 50,000 domestic charging stations by 2025.
According to analysts, EV adoption will gain major momentum in the Middle East thanks to growing tech-savvy urban hubs in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, in addition to a significant drop in the cost of EVs over the past years.
With EV sales looking set to continue ramping up, here are four stocks that seem well positioned to capitalize on the regions growth.
VivoPower International PLC (NASDAQ:VVPR) , a sustainable energy solutions (SES) company, is on a mission to make the cost of owning an EV much more affordable without compromising on any of the features. The companys flagship subsidiary, Tembo e-LV, supplies conversion kits containing all the parts needed to convert a vehicle from an internal combustion engine to electric. These parts include the batteries, an e-motor, a reduction box, a charger, software, and many other components that make the converted vehicle work safely and seamlessly.
In essence, the Tembo electric utility vehicle (EUV) conversion kits will transform new and second-hand diesel-powered 4×4 LandCruiser and Hilux vehicles into ruggedized EUVs that can operate in the harshest of terrains, like in mining and other industrial applications.
Tembos conversion kits have seen significant interest from not only the Middle East but also the African market, as illustrated by its recent securing of a commitment of 5000+ kits and an order pipeline of 10,000+ kits. Those included an MOU in Jordan for 1,000 kits, opening a path to the Middle East, which is the largest Landcruiser market, and a definitive agreement in Kenya for 4,000 kits, providing entry into second-hand vehicle segments, which expands the companys addressable market.
To put the opportunity in context, the Middle East and Africa EV markets were worth about $3.33 billion in 2024 and are expected to reach $9.42 billion by 2029, representing a CAGR of 23.20%, according to research from Mordor Intelligence. VVPR is well positioned to capitalize on this growth and has what could possibly be one of the best backers to help advance in the region. That is because earlier this month, Vivo received a direct investment of $10 million into Tembo at a pre-money valuation of $120 million, from a private investment office of a member of the ruling Al Maktoum family of Dubai.
At the moment, VVPR has a market cap of about $12.5 million, which implies that its valuation has significant upside potential even without taking into account its other subsidiaries, which it is divesting from.
Just this week, VivoPower International PLC (NASDAQ:VVPR) announced that it entered into a definitive asset sale agreement for the sale of one of its non-core business units, Kenshaw Electrical, to ARA Group Limited, a leading diversified industrial services group based in Australia, for a total of A$5 million. This follows another announcement that it would spin off the majority of its Caret business units portfolio, representing up to ten solar projects totaling 586 MW-DC at varying stages of development.
This is in line with VivoPowers previously announced strategy to focus on reinvesting in its strong growth businesses, including Tembo.
It is also important to note that Tembo will be going public via a merger with Nasdaq-listed SPAC Cactus Acquisition Corp. (CCTS). CCTS will issue 83.8 million shares in exchange for Tembo shares at $10 per CCTS share, which corresponds to a pre-money indicative equity valuation of Tembo of $838 million.
VivoPower shareholders will get 5 Tembo shares worth $10 each for every share held, in addition to a special dividend at $1 per share, translating to another $5 per VivoPower share held.
This deal has the potential to unlock significant shareholder value since even if the Tembo share price upon IPO is only $1, this implies a per share valuation for VVPR of $28, including the value of dividend shares.
VinFast Auto Ltd. (NASDAQ:VFS) marked a significant milestone in its global expansion strategy by entering into a dealer sales agreement with Bahwan Automobiles Trading LLC (BAT) for the distribution of electric vehicles (EVs) in Oman. This collaboration not only introduces VinFast's presence in the Middle East but also underscores the company's commitment to promoting green mobility solutions worldwide.
The deal follows an Initial Memorandum of Understanding for Cooperation signed at the COP 28 conference in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2023. It makes BAT the official dealer of VinFast in Oman. Under the agreement, BAT is to establish 13 VinFast stores and service locations over the next three years.
The first store is expected to launch in mid-2024, with vehicle sales commencing shortly after. VinFast will also collaborate with BAT to introduce four e-SUV models in the Omani market: VF 6, VF 7, VF 8, and VF 9.
Mr. Ta Xuan Hien, CEO of VinFast Middle East, said: "Oman presents a promising market for electric vehicles, as consumers in the nation demonstrate a growing interest in sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation solutions. We are confident that this dealer sales agreement with BAT, a leading and highly reputable dealer in Oman, will empower VinFast to swiftly establish a presence in the market and provide customers in the country with the most diverse and high-quality selection of electric vehicles available."
NWTN (NASDAQ:NWTN) is a Dubai-based pioneering green energy company dedicated to providing passenger-focused, premium electric vehicle products and green energy solutions to customers worldwide. The company has a full vehicle assembly facility in Abu Dhabi.
In January this year, NWTNs strategic partner, W Motors, a leading manufacturer of high-performance luxury cars in the Middle East, signed a partnership agreement with Manaseer Group.
Through this agreement, Manaseer Group will be the exclusive distributor for W Motors and NWTN vehicles in Jordan and the Middle East and Africa region. It will use its facilities as a factory for assembly and thereafter manufacturing operations for these new car brands, which is made possible by Manaseers strong presence and expertise of the Jordan market, and its commitment to providing environment-friendly solutions that combine innovation and luxury.
The agreement was reached following Manaseer Group's recent participation in the Higher and Executive Committees for Integrated Industrial Partnership meeting that took place in Bahrain. Manaseer Groups Vice Chairman Eng Abdel Rhman Obaid said: "We are proud to have represented Jordan in the Higher and Executive Committees for Integrated Industrial Partnership meeting and to contribute to the industry's development in Jordan and the region, as we believe in our role in the industrial sector empowerment.
Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:LCID) officially opened the first-ever car manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia last year, making it its second Advanced Manufacturing Plant (AMP-2) and first international plant. The facility will produce Lucid's groundbreaking electric vehicles for Saudi Arabia and export them to other markets.
The AMP-2 facility received significant support from the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA), the Saudi Industrial Development Fund (SIDF), and the Economic City at King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) and is expected to play a pivotal role in accelerating Saudi Arabia's strategic goal to diversify its economy.
The AMP-2 facility has begun semi knocked-down (SKD) assembly and is expected to have an annual capacity of 5,000 cars. The initial operation re-assembles Lucid Air vehicle 'kits' that are pre-manufactured at the company's U.S. AMP-1 Manufacturing Facility in Casa Grande, Arizona. Lucid aims to transition AMP-2 to complete build unit (CBU) production after the middle of the decade, with an additional annual capacity of 150,000 cars.

In today’s increasingly digital world, “on the way”has become more important than ever. As we continue to incorporate
technology into every aspect of our lives, from personal devices to complex corporate networks, the need to protect these systems from cyber threats is paramount “otw” is not just a buzzword; It is at the heart of our digital lives, ensuring privacy, integrity and availability of data and systems.
What is “on the way”?
“on the way” is the process of protecting computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. This includes a wide range of practices, technologies and procedures designed to protect networks, devices, systems and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access.
“on the way” can be broken down into several main areas:
• Network Security – Protects the integrity, privacy, and availability of data on or between networks.
• Information Security – Focuses on protecting the confidentiality, integrity and security of existing data stored and transmitted.
• Application Security – Includes protecting applications by identifying, repairing, and preventing security vulnerabilities. • Endpoint Security – Refers to the security of personal devices such as laptops, desktops, and mobile devices connected to a network.
• Identity Management – Includes processes, policies, and technologies that ensure only authorized individuals have access to information systems.
• Cloud Security – Refers to protecting data, applications, and services in the cloud from cyber threats.
Trends in cyber terrorism
Cyber threats have evolved dramatically over the years. Initially, “otw” threats were relatively simple, with hackers targeting single systems or small networks. But as technology has advanced, so have threats. Modern cyberattacks are often sophisticated, targeting entire infrastructure, supply chains, and even critical national assets.
1. Malware
One of the most common cyber threats, malware is malicious software designed to harm or exploit any programmable device, service, or network. This includes viruses, worms, Trojans, ransomware and spyware.
2. Phishing
This is a common social engineering attack used to steal user data, including login credentials and credit card numbers. It occurs when an attacker impersonates a trusted user in an electronic communication.
3. Ransomware
A type of malware that locks users out of their systems or files and requires a ransom to regain access. High-profile ransomware attacks have crippled businesses and governments alike.
4. Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)
These are long-term and targeted cyberattacks in which the attacker gains access to a network and remains undetectable for long periods of time, often targeted stop data theft 5. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks This type of attack overwhelms a system, server, or network with traffic, making it unavailable.
The importance of “on the way”
The consequences of a successful cyberattacks can be devastating for individuals and organizations. For businesses, breaches can result in significant financial losses, legal ramifications and reputational damage. For individuals, cyberattacks can result in identity theft, data loss, and financial loss.
• Unauthorized access or disclosure of sensitive data can have serious consequences, especially if the data is of a personal or financial nature
• The costs associated with a cyberattacks can be significant. Companies can face high costs, legal costs, and expenses for broken systems.
• A cyberattacks can severely damage an organization’s reputation, leading to loss of customer trust and decline in productivity.
• Cyber-attacks can disrupt business operations, resulting in downtime, lost productivity and lost business opportunities.
“on the way” best practices
Adopting strong “otw” practices is essential to protect against cyber threats. Here are some best practices for individuals and organizations to follow.
• Ensure that all software, including operating systems, applications, and security programs, are regularly updated to protect against known vulnerabilities
• Implement strong password management, including the use of strong passwords and multi-factor authentication (MFA). • Conduct regular “otw” training for employees to help them identify and avoid potential threats such as phishing scams. • Protect sensitive data with encryption while traveling and on vacation, ensuring that data cannot be read by unauthorized parties even if it is blocked
• Make sure you back up important data regularly and make sure these backups are stored securely and are easily accessible in the event of a cyberattacks.
• Develop and implement robust incident response plans to promptly address any security breaches and minimize impact.
The Future of Cybersecurity
As technology continues to evolve, so too will the threats that we face. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing introduces new challenges for “on the way”. However, these technologies also offer new opportunities for enhancing security.
a. AI in “on the way”
AI can be used to identify patterns and anomalies in large data sets, enabling the early detection of potential threats. Machine
learning algorithms can also help in developing more sophisticated security systems.
b. IoT Security
With the proliferation of IoT devices, securing these interconnected systems will become increasingly important. It will require the development of new protocols and standards to ensure that IoT devices are not vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
c. Cloud Security
As more organizations migrate to the cloud, ensuring the security of cloud-based systems will be paramount. This will involve adopting new cloud security frameworks and best practices.
Conclusion
“on the way” is a top priority in the digital age. As we embrace technology, the need for stronger cyber security measures will increase. By understanding risks, notifying us of emerging threats, and adopting best practices, individuals and organizations can protect themselves from ever-changing cyber threats The future of “otw” depends on us the ability to adapt and innovate to ensure we can protect the digital frontier for generations to come.
