The agreements are expected to accelerate Saudi Arabia\u2019s strategic goal to transform and diversify its economy through the development of sustainable energy and transportation. Lucid estimates that the location of Lucid\u2019s first international manufacturing plant in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia may result in up to $3.4 billion of value to Lucid over 15 years, and the facility will enable Lucid to address growing demand for Lucid\u2019s\u00a0products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLucid aspires to be a catalyst for change wherever we go, so it makes perfect sense that we are bringing electric vehicles to one of the world\u2019s biggest oil producing nations. Establishing a global manufacturing footprint is a practical, natural step and enables us to grow our brand, scale our business, and address worldwide and untapped market demand on an entirely new level, while also taking action to address climate change through inspiring sustainable transportation,\u201d said Peter Rawlinson, CEO and CTO, Lucid Group. \u201cOur strong relationships with the Public Investment Fund and our partners at MISA, KAEC, and SIDF also give us unique insight into the demand for luxury cars and SUVs in Saudi Arabia and beyond, and we are thrilled to introduce the world\u2019s most advanced electric vehicles to more global&nbsp;markets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucid reviewed multiple opportunities before selecting KAEC in Saudi Arabia as the optimal location and opportunity for its first international manufacturing facility. The new manufacturing hub will be fully owned by Lucid and enable the company to meet growing international demand for luxury electric vehicles. Lucid also expects to benefit from the availability of competitively-priced commodities and energy and a newly emerging domestic supply chain, and a factory location that facilitates global logistics. The company further expects to be able to access financing to build and equip the manufacturing facility and to train automotive&nbsp;workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucid plans to establish operations at KAEC for re-assembly of Lucid Air vehicle \u201ckits\u201d that are pre-manufactured at the company\u2019s U.S. AMP-1 Manufacturing Facility in Casa Grande, Arizona, and, over time, for production of complete vehicles. At its peak, the company expects to manufacture up to 150,000 vehicles per year at the KAEC facility. Construction of the plant is expected to start in the first half of 2022. Vehicles in the initial phase will be slated for the market in Saudi Arabia, but Lucid plans to export finished vehicles to other global markets, including exclusive models designed to appeal to Lucid\u2019s discerning customers in the region and beyond. Lucid\u2019s AMP-1 in Arizona will continue to serve as the company\u2019s central manufacturing hub, with the Lucid Production System and other manufacturing technologies refined in the United States before deployment at other factory sites. Lucid has already commenced the second phase of construction at AMP-1 to add 2.85 million square feet of space, with plans to further expand to an annual production capacity of 365,000 vehicles in Arizona. The company expects that its production capacity in Arizona and Saudi Arabia will exceed 500,000 vehicles per year in aggregate when each facility reaches its target&nbsp;capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lucid-pr-sa-plant2_0_0_0.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lucid-pr-sa-plant2_0_0_0-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"lucid-pr-sa-plant2_0_0_0\" class=\"wp-image-32149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lucid-pr-sa-plant2_0_0_0-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lucid-pr-sa-plant2_0_0_0-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lucid-pr-sa-plant2_0_0_0-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lucid-pr-sa-plant2_0_0_0-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lucid-pr-sa-plant2_0_0_0-1080x720.webp 1080w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lucid-pr-sa-plant2_0_0_0.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucid anticipates that Saudi Arabia\u2019s efforts to foster an automotive ecosystem through its Saudi Vision 2030 should yield cost savings for Lucid as well as environmental benefits, with reduced transportation of product to the customer.&nbsp; The project should also enable opportunities for Saudi Arabia to diversify and transition from fossil fuels to sustainable energy and transportation. Lucid expects to employ several thousand people at its KAEC facility once full production capacity is established, the majority of which are expected to be Saudi Arabian citizens. Lucid has established an internship program with the PIF to provide educational opportunities and training for Saudi Arabian citizens at Lucid\u2019s facilities in California and Arizona to develop talent for operations in Saudi Arabia. The company, in addition, will build and run dedicated training centers in KAEC to support skills development for the&nbsp;workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PIF has been partnering with leading innovators globally such as Lucid, which demonstrates PIF\u2019s commitment to shape the economies of the future and drive the economic transformation of Saudi Arabia in line with Saudi Vision&nbsp;2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday, we take a major step towards Saudi Arabia\u2019s goal of diversifying its economy by creating a new manufacturing hub to spearhead the future of mobility for the Middle East region. Attracting a global leader in electric vehicles such as Lucid to open its first international manufacturing plant in Saudi Arabia reflects our commitment to creating long-term economic value in a sustainable, enduring, and globally integrated way. This project demonstrates the confidence investors have in Saudi Arabia\u2019s competitiveness, its ability to create opportunity and serve global demand for a highly complex product such as electric vehicles,\u201d said His Excellency Khalid Al-Falih, Minister of Investment of Saudi&nbsp;Arabia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lucid-pr-sa-plant1_0_0_0.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lucid-pr-sa-plant1_0_0_0-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"lucid-pr-sa-plant1_0_0_0\" class=\"wp-image-32150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lucid-pr-sa-plant1_0_0_0-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lucid-pr-sa-plant1_0_0_0-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lucid-pr-sa-plant1_0_0_0-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lucid-pr-sa-plant1_0_0_0-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lucid-pr-sa-plant1_0_0_0-1080x720.webp 1080w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lucid-pr-sa-plant1_0_0_0.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEstablishing Lucid\u2019s new manufacturing hub in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is aligned with our national priority of diversifying the economy, and more specifically in growing and diversifying the industrial sector as part of the Kingdom\u2019s Vision 2030 and The National Industrial Development &amp; Logistics Program,\u201d said His Excellency Bandar Alkhorayef, Saudi Arabia\u2019s Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources and Chairman of SIDF. \u201cWe are proud to partner with Lucid to enable this new industry in Saudi Arabia, which is one of the future\u2019s most complex and technology-dependent industries, and a major contributor to the supply chain development of other related industries that intersect with auto manufacturing.\u201d His Excellency added \u201cWe look forward to working with Lucid and other leading companies as we continue to build out our global competitiveness, relying on Saudi Arabia\u2019s many qualitative advantages, starting with its proven human resources, its industrial capabilities and its quality digital and physical infrastructure, to its advantageous geographical location in the&nbsp;region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLucid Group\u2019s landmark decision to establish its first international plant in KAEC marks a significant milestone in our journey to become a leading-edge city with a world-class manufacturing and logistics hub,\u201d said Cyril&nbsp;Piaia, CEO of Emaar, The Economic City,&nbsp;the master developer of KAEC.&nbsp;\u201cWe are proud that KAEC will serve as a global launchpad for new sustainable mobility innovations such as electric vehicles, furthering its standing as a vision-ready platform that supports Saudi Vision 2030&nbsp;objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe U.S. government welcomes Saudi Arabia\u2019s effort to diversify its economy and fight climate change,\u201d said U.S. Charg\u00e9 d\u2019Affaires Martina Strong, the head of the U.S. Mission to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. \u201cThis announcement shows it can do both, through partnership and engagement with innovative American&nbsp;companies.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lucid announces long-term plan to bring advanced automotive manufacturing to Saudi Arabia to address global&nbsp;demand.
