The Electra R, specifically tailored to meet the Dubai Police’s guidelines, is painted in the unique green livery of the Dubai Police. Officially commencing patrol duties with the handover ceremony, the Electra R will be responsible for the safety of citizens and travelers at key tourist spots in Dubai, including the Burj Khalifa, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Road, and Jumeirah Beach Residence.
Rami Atat, Head of APAC Marketing and Communications at Lotus Cars, expressed, “We are thrilled to begin our collaboration with the Dubai Police through this partnership,” adding, “I hope that through the Electra R, which perfectly aligns with the local emphasis on sustainability and utilizing technology for the future, we can not only support public safety but also disseminate Lotus’s vision.”
