Dubai Police Expands its Fleet with Geely Tugella

Dubai, UAE; 16 July 2024: The Dubai Police have proudly added the Geely Tugella model to their fleet of traffic patrol vehicles, marking a significant step forward in the force’s dedication to utilising cutting-edge technology for enhanced public safety and traffic management.

A formal handover event of the vehicle was attended by Brigadier General Juma Salem bin Suwaidan, Deputy Director of the General Department of Traffic, and Mohamad Hussami, General Manager of Operations at AGMC GEELY, the official distributor of Geely vehicles in the UAE, along with various officers and employees from both organisations.

The newly inducted Geely Tugella vehicles, specially modified and dressed in Dubai Police’s distinctive green and white livery, will be deployed across tourist areas and key locations throughout the emirate for law enforcement purposes. They are employed to streamline traffic flow and strengthen the security presence of police officers in various locations across the emirate.

These initiatives highlight Geely’s dedication to providing a comprehensive and seamless customer experience for its growing clientele in the country. The company has strategically expanded its market presence, particularly in the Middle East, where it has introduced innovative and high-quality models such as the Tugella and Preface sedan.

Dr. Andreas Schaaf, CEO-Geely Group Brands, commented on the collaboration: “We are honoured to see the formidable Geely Tugella SUV become a part of Dubai Police’s esteemed fleet.
