E Daddy, a sustainable urban mobility start-up, has announced the successful acquisition of $15 million (approximately AED 55 million) in funding, marking a significant milestone in its mission to revolutionise the UAE’s electric vehicle (EV) landscape. Headquartered in Dubai, E Daddy is the first company in the region to manufacture vehicles end-to-end within the Emirates, solidifying its role as a leader in the nation’s green mobility sector.
The company operates state-of-the-art facilities in Dubai Industrial City and National Industries Park. With the recent infusion of capital, E Daddy is poised to accelerate its production capabilities, further establishing itself as a key player in the global shift toward sustainable transportation.
E Daddy’s ambitious plans include the launch of its first purely electric motorcycle in the first quarter of 2025. This innovative vehicle is designed with a strong focus on environmental sustainability, producing zero tailpipe emissions. The company estimates that this new product will save approximately 0.6 million tons of carbon emissions annually, directly contributing to the UAE’s clean environment strategy and the broader goal of creating a greener future.
Mansoor Ali Khan Abdul Buhari, Founder and CEO of E Daddy, expressed his enthusiasm for the company’s achievements and future aspirations. “We are proud to be the first company to manufacture vehicles end-to-end in Dubai, and are committed to championing the development of eco-friendly automobiles while serving the UAE in its endeavor to create a more sustainable future,” Buhari stated. “Our electric two-wheelers are designed with the specific requirements of the UAE in mind, from temperature control to reducing emissions and enhancing the safety of last-mile delivery drivers.”
One of the key technological advancements in E Daddy’s vehicles is the integration of self-diagnostic techniques and a unique battery system featuring a double-layer cooling mechanism. This innovation ensures that the cars maintain optimal battery performance even in the extreme temperatures of the UAE, which can reach up to 50°C. These cutting-edge features position E Daddy at the forefront of the mobility sector’s technological evolution.
Co-founder and COO Yasmeen Jawahar Ali emphasized the impact of the recent funding on E Daddy’s long-term vision. “With the investment of $15 million, our vision of building a future where transportation is eco-friendly, efficient, and within reach for everyone is now within reach. We envision a world where clean, sustainable energy is not a luxury but a readily accessible necessity for all,” Ali said. Looking ahead, E Daddy plans to expand its operations beyond the UAE, aiming to serve the broader GCC region and the African continent. This expansion aligns with the company’s commitment to play a significant role in the global movement toward sustainable urban mobility.
