Muscat, Oman — Mercedes-Benz Oman is announcing the arrival of the new EQS Sedan and EQS SUV, two groundbreaking all-electric models that set new benchmarks in technology, performance, and sustainable mobility.

Mercedes-Benz's commitment to zero CO₂ emission driving and its Ambition 2039 aligns with the increasing availability of electric vehicles (EV) in Oman to meet the growing demand. The electric vehicle (EV) market in Oman is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 12.2% between 2023 and 2028. According to 6Wresearch, this growth is driven by government initiatives aimed at reducing fossil fuel dependency and promoting sustainability, in line with Oman’s Vision 2040 . The government has set a target for 10% of the country’s vehicles to be electric by 2030. MarkNtel Advisors reported that public EV charging stations in Oman saw a 30% increase in 2023, with further infrastructure developments planned to facilitate EV adoption across the country.

In addition to infrastructure expansion, the EV market has seen a 15% year-on-year rise in imports, with more luxury and mainstream brands introducing electric models into the Omani market. According to a 2023 survey by Mordor Intelligence, 60% of Omani consumers are now considering an electric vehicle for their next purchase, reflecting a significant shift toward sustainable and eco-friendly transportation.

Oman will now enjoy the arrival of two groundbreaking EQS electric vehicle models from Mercedes-Benz, continuing the brand’s push for innovation and sustainable mobility.
