DriveDubai, a subsidiary of Masharie, the private equity arm of Dubai Investments, and one of the biggest driving centres in Dubai, has announced plans to open seven new branches in the next few months across the Emirate as part of its strategic expansion move.
 
The new branches will come up at Meadows Community Village, Jebel Ali Industrial, Me’aisem City Centre, Mall of the Emirates, Discovery Gardens, Jafza Community Village and Jumeirah Village Circle, said a statement from DriveDubai.

These new outlets will complement the four branches currently operational at Dubai Investments Park (DIP) 1, Dubai World Central, Motor City and Dubai Outlet Mall, apart from the head office in DIP 2.
 
The new branches will offer registration, on-site training and other enrolment facilities for aspiring drivers and are aimed at offering easier access and convenience to applicants near their place of residence or work.
 
DriveDubai, registered as Dubai International Driving Center, operates an 850,000 sq ft, state-of-the-art training facility at DIP 2 in partnership with Belhasa International Group of Companies & Saif Belhasa Group.

The facility offers specialised training programmes for aspiring drivers of car, motorcycle, forklift and heavy vehicles.
 
Apart from expansion of its geographical footprint, DriveDubai also unveiled plans to increase the fleet by 30 per cent, including new eco-friendly training vehicles with CNG technology as advised by the Roads & Transport Authority [RTA]. The fleet growth is in line with the expansion plans spanning the entire area from Dubai Central to Dubai South.
 
Ahmed Omar Yousef, the acting manager of DriveDubai, said it is witnessing exponential growth, evident from the growing number of registrations and the surging demand in its operational centres.

"In view of the escalating demand, DriveDubai is planning to open new branches in communities which offer huge growth opportunities. DriveDubai constantly aims at improving its facilities, fleet and team to not only produce good drivers, but also make the whole process seamless," he noted.
 
As part of its commitment to provide value-added services for its customers, DriveDubai also announced plans to open a new vehicle testing facility within its premises in DIP 2, which will facilitate the testing of light & heavy vehicles and enhance convenience of motorists in the DIP neighbourhood.-TradeArabia News Service
