    AXL Electric Vehicles unveils the first Canadian EV brand

    Exceptional driving experience with a new electric vehicle combining luxury, affordability and superior technology

    Dubai(Press Release) AXL Electric Vehicles (AXL), the Canadian automotive company dedicated to revolutionizing the EV industry by making luxury electric vehicles more affordable, is proud to announce the world premiere of its SHARX-5, the company’s new electric mid-size SUV, in Dubai.

    The new vehicle was revealed in a glamorous event attended by the company’s Founder & CEO, higher management, and top engineers who worked to achieve the company’s mission to create a surprisingly affordable luxury car. SHARX-5 combines superior technology with luxury features, and an exceptional driving experience, all with climate sustainability at its core.

    “We’re thrilled to introduce the SHARX-5 to the world,” says Ali Eslami, Founder & CEO of AXL. “Our mission is to make luxury electric vehicles as affordable to as many people as possible. By doing so, we can do our part to help reduce the effects of climate change, and leave a legacy we can be truly proud of. We’re unveiling a superior electric vehicle that delivers an exceptional driving experience. Built with advanced technology and designed with a relentless focus on innovation, we’re bringing luxury electric vehicles to a much wider audience than ever before.”

    According to Ali, the timing is perfect for AXL’s entry into the market. “We are filling a need for a more affordable EV that also delivers a luxurious driving experience.” The global automotive market is witnessing a rapid shift to electric vehicles where governments are beginning to curb the sale of new gas-powered vehicles, “a shift that’s coming sooner than many people think”, says Ali.

    Addressing misconceptions related to the shift to electric vehicles, Ali commented that repairs and maintenance are not expensive for EVs and that AXL will be manufacturing electric vehicles that are made up of fewer components than a gas vehicle, with the ability to be updated over-the-air. EVs are becoming cheaper to repair, break down far less frequently, require significantly less maintenance, and can last several years longer than gas cars. AXL is committed to making the switch to an EV as easy and seamless as possible. AXL EVs can be charged with universal chargers, and there are more public charging stations being built every day.

    Ali explains, “Our goal is to establish AXL as a leading global EV brand by providing a superior EV with outstanding features to make the driving experience the smoothest, most-luxurious ride ever. But unlike other luxury EV brands, we set out to make ours as affordable for as many people as possible.”AXL Electric Vehicles Inc. intends to improve the customers’ lives with a positive contribution to the community through hard work, commitment, and innovation. It has been established to satisfy the increasing demand for electric vehicles which are better for the environment, cheaper to operate, maintain and deliver superior performance. Aiming to create a luxurious electric vehicle that can be affordable for more people, the company was founded on the belief that climate sustainability should be accessible to everyone and not just the rich.AXL is rooted in six core values: simplicity–one model that has it all, affordability– to help people make the switch faster and easier by making its vehicle the most affordable in its class, luxury– its EV includes the most features that can be found in a high-end luxury vehicle to ensure an effortless and comfortable driving experience, safety–its technology is built with safety at its core where every possible feature was included to increase safety inside the vehicle. Other values include community–reversing climate change requires all of us to play our part, and AXL aims to put in place several initiatives that promote collective efforts to make a lasting impact on the global community with plans to build charging stations that will be available to all EVs, not just their brand, quality– superior,best-in-class technology, exceptional customer experience with the flexibility to accommodate the changing market demands.(END)

  • Launch of Innovative and Environment-Friendly Electricity Free Cooling Paint

    Launch of Innovative and Environment-Friendly Electricity Free Cooling Paint

    In Partnership with i2cool, Leading Hospitality Services Announces the Launch of Innovative and Environment-Friendly Electricity Free Cooling Paint

     AbuDhabi(News Desk):: Leading Hospitality Services is pleased to announce the launch in the Middle East, Levant, and African Region of the highly efficient passive radiative cooling paint known as iPaint, which was developed by the Hong Kong start-up company, i2cool.

With outstanding cooling performance, iPaint contains a mixture of polymers and nanoparticles guided by passive radiative cooling technology that covers the surface of objects. When applied to the exterior wall of a building, a significant drop in the building’s indoor temperature takes place by simultaneously reflecting most of the sunlight and radiating out the building’s heat into space in the form of mid-infrared radiation.

    I2cool states, “With our goal to match the trend towards emission reduction and advance the development of energy-saving technology, our dedicated team had spent over seven years of testing and modification before successfully converting the expensive passive radiative cooling technology into affordable commercial goods.”The creators behind this very beneficial product is a technology start-up company formally founded in June 2021 and was supported by the City University of Hong Kong’s “HK TECH300” Entrepreneurship Program and Hong Kong Science Technology Park.

    A Leading Hospitality official said, “As we are continuously striving to go green, we are very much thrilled with this innovation that indeed provides a significant impact on society and the environment. Also, with the warmer climate in the UAE especially during summer, this cooling paint is an ideal invention to contribute to a greener and more sustainable country that will also provide a more comfortable and healthier environment.”
