To support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and community organisations in the UAE, Stellantis Middle East has launched a community support initiative, providing temporary access to vehicles, helping them maintain operations and continuity of service.

Running through to 14 May, the initiative forms part of Stellantis’ broader commitment to supporting local communities by addressing practical mobility needs. Eligible organisations may apply for short-term vehicle support to assist with logistics, deliveries, or day-to-day operational requirements.

“Local businesses are at the heart of our community, and supporting them matters to us,” said Reham Eldidi, Head of Corporate Communications, Stellantis Middle East.

‘Drive for Local Business’ aims to recognise how essential mobility is to daily operations of local businesses. Whether it’s making deliveries, reaching customers, or managing logistics, “mobility plays a key role in day-to-day operations,” said Eldidi.

“Through Stellantis’ 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,” she added.

Applications are open to UAE‑based SMEs and community organisations holding a valid trade license, operational for a minimum of 12 months, and able to demonstrate a clear and justified mobility need. Applications will be reviewed based on defined eligibility criteria and operational relevance.

Selected applicants will be allocated, subject to availability and suitability of use, a vehicle from Stellantis’ portfolio for a limited period of up to seven days, at no cost and with fuel included.

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.

Eligible applicants meeting the criteria are invited to complete a short application via https://cloud.stellantis-me.com/Sme_EN.
