The manufacturing plant, Hyundai&#8217;s first facility in the Middle East, will roll out its first vehicle by the fourth quarter of 2026 and targets an annual production of 50,000 vehicles. This will include both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicles (EV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yazeed A.
