How will Dubai's newly built 20-million-square-foot auto hub reshape global trade?According to the Chairman of DP World, this is more than just a showroom—it’s a "Silk Road for cars" connecting Asia, Europe, and Africa. Whether it's luxury fleet orders from the Saudi royal family or the booming demand for second-hand cars in Africa, all inquiries can be responded to within 72 hours.
Super Hub, Dubai Automotive Trade
Dubai is boldly redrawing the global auto trade map. Under the direct directive of Sheikh Mohammed, the ruler of Dubai, the world's largest automobile market project has officially launched. Spanning 20 million square feet—eight times the size of the current market—this mega hub is projected to double its annual sales from AED 6.8 billion.
At the core of the project is DP World, a logistics titan with a footprint in 77 ports and 430 business units across 86 countries. This new market is not just a vehicle trading ground—it is designed as a full-spectrum auto ecosystem, incorporating vehicle registration, banking, logistics, and even an auto-themed entertainment zone. The goal: to become the "Mecca for car enthusiasts".
Jebel Ali Port, the key engine of this initiative, already processes up to 600,000 vehicles per year. The newly built logistics center brings groundbreaking features:
- Multi-level racking systems to maximize storage density
- 20 container berths operating simultaneously
- Solar-powered infrastructure, cutting energy consumption by 35%
Deutsche Bahn Schenker has completed a 42,000 m² distribution center for Ford within the hub—now a strategic stronghold for reaching the African market.
Dubai Supply Chain Revolution
Jebel Ali Free Zone has become a vital battleground for logistics giants. The first Chinese-funded automotive logistics base in the Middle East—established by Zhejiang Seaport Cloud Warehouse—signals China's logistics sector formally entering the regional core.
This industrial park boasts 75,000 m² of warehouse space, with capacity for 4,000 vehicles at once. By integrating shipping, rail, and yard resources, it forms a Belt and Road-driven automotive logistics artery.
Innovation in logistics technology is accelerating:
- Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) systems boosting storage efficiency by 40%
- Smart inventory management ensuring error-free order fulfillment
- 24/7 surveillance systems protecting luxury vehicles
