News from ECG

Saudi Arabia is emerging as one of the most strategically important automotive markets globally. Driven by Vision 2030, the Kingdom is investing heavily in local vehicle production, EV manufacturing, supplier localization, and logistics infrastructure, positioning itself as a future automotive and mobility hub for the Middle East, Africa, and beyond. For ECG Members and Partners, this transformation opens new commercial, operational, and partnership opportunities across the finished vehicle supply chain.  

This webinar builds directly on insights from ECG’s recently published Business Intelligence report, Car Sales & Production in the GCC, which highlights the Kingdom’s strategic importance within the Middle East region. The session will take these insights further by providing first-hand perspectives from the policymakers, developers, and operators driving change on the ground in KSA. 

Members will gain exclusive insights into how Saudi Arabia’s automotive ambitions are translating into concrete policy frameworks, infrastructure investments, and logistics opportunities, directly impacting market entry, network design, and future trade flows. 

We invite you to this closed-door discussion with senior decision-makers who are directly shaping policy, investment, infrastructure, and logistics frameworks in the Kingdom. Participation is strictly limited to ECG Members and Partners.
