Through Stellantis\u2019 Drive for Local Business, we want to offer something practical that can make a real difference. We want to show up in a way that is useful and grounded in their business needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eligible applicants meeting the criteria are invited to complete a short application via <a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.stellantis-me.com\/Sme_EN\">https:\/\/cloud.stellantis-me.com\/Sme_EN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Selected applicants will be allocated, subject to availability and suitability of use, a vehicle from Stellantis\u2019 portfolio for a limited period of up to seven days, at no cost and with fuel included. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Available vehicles include passenger models such as the PEUGEOT 3008, PEUGEOT 5008, Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and Jeep Commander, as well as pickup trucks including the RAM Tungsten and RAM Rebel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications are open to UAE\u2011based SMEs and community organisations holding a valid trade licence, operational for a minimum of 12 months, and able to demonstrate a clear and justified mobility need.
