LATEST NEWS Nissan and CAFU partner to accelerate digital mobility in the Middle East, prioritizing customer safety and convenience

Following the successful regional debut of Connected Car Services (CCS 2.0) on the all-new Patrol over a year ago, this announcement marks a pivotal shift for the brand. While
remaining a dedicated automotive manufacturer, Nissan has evolved into a provider of anintegrated digital ecosystem. This transformation is designed to "Defy Ordinary" byseamlessly orchestrating the connection between the driver, the vehicle, and the urbanenvironment, ensuring reliability for customers from the comfort of their homes.

Nissan’s strategic partnership with CAFU is a foundational step in expanding the value-added services available to Nissan customers. By integrating CAFU’s services directly into
Nissan’s platforms, the partnership removes the friction of everyday vehicle fueling andcare. It allows the “Nissan Ownership” and “MyNissan App” to serve as a one-stop-shopfor mobility and beyond. Nissan customers will enjoy CAFU’s on-demand fuel and car washservices, reinforcing Nissan’s commitment to delivering tangible value through itspartnerships.

Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President, President – Middle East, KSA, CIS andIndia, Nissan and INFINITI, said, “At Nissan, we believe in Defying Ordinary, and thatextends to how our customers interact with our vehicles, especially during times whensafety and convenience are paramount. With the regional launch of CCS 2.0, weestablished the infrastructure for a connected future. Now, through this strategicintegration with CAFU, we are unlocking the true value of that infrastructure. Thispartnership is just the beginning of a broader digital services roadmap where our appsbecome the remote control for a seamless ownership experience, allowing our customersto manage their vehicle's needs safely from home, starting with our flagship Patrol”

This collaboration is designed as a phased evolution of the "Connected Mobility" concept.Currently, customers can seamlessly order fuel and car care directly via the Nissan apps,bypassing the need for multiple accounts or platforms. As the partnership evolves into2026, the experience will shift toward semi-automation for owners of selected Nissanmodels including the iconic Patrol. Utilizing CCS 2.0 data, the vehicle will intelligentlymonitor its own fuel levels; when the threshold drops, the ecosystem will trigger anotification via the MyNissan App, offering "one-click" prompts to dispatch CAFU and evenremotely unlock the fuel cap for a secure, contactless experience.

Looking further ahead, Nissan and CAFU plan to pilot a fully automated model describedas the "World’s Best Fuelling Experience." In this future phase, the vehicle will detect lowfuel and automatically signal CAFU’s network to dispatch a truck. The refuelling will occurwithout the customer needing to open an app or be present, resulting in a vehicle that is"always ready."

Rashid Al Ghurair, Founder & CEO, CAFU added, "At CAFU, our mission has alwaysbeen to challenge the status quo, ensuring our customers reclaim their most invaluableresource, which is time. This partnership with Nissan marks a pivotal milestone in thatjourney, following an intensive period of investment in revamping our supply andtechnology to relaunch a more seamless experience that our community has come to love.By integrating directly into Nissan’s connected ecosystem, we are not only ushering in apredictive and frictionless era of mobility but also placing the UAE at the absolute forefrontof global innovation. We are building a future where the vehicle intelligently manages itsown needs, ensuring it is ‘always ready’ so our customers can focus entirely on the journeyahead."

The service is immediately available to eligible UAE customers, mainly in Dubai and theNorthern Emirates. To celebrate the launch, Nissan customers will receive complimentarya one-month complimentary CAFU Go subscription, including priority delivery and car washbenefits. This initiative reinforces Nissan’s position as a leader in automotive technologyand innovation, offering a benchmark-setting digital ecosystem that keeps customersseamlessly connected.

Powering this digital shift is CCS 2.0, which grants owners total control via the MyNissanapp. From remote engine starts and climate pre-setting to real-time diagnostics on batteryand tire health, the vehicle becomes a proactive partner in the user’s daily life. Theseconnected features are seamlessly integrated with essential ownership tools, allowingcustomers to book service appointments or locate dealers with a single tap. By mergingremote vehicle management with effortless maintenance scheduling, Nissan ensures thatevery aspect of the ownership journey is streamlined, intelligent, and always within reach.

Leading this technological evolution is the all-new Nissan Patrol - the first model in theregion to introduce Nissan’s advanced CCS 2.0 (NissanConnect). The new Patrol mergesthis high-tech interface and iconic design with a choice of advanced powertrains, includinga new twin-turbo V6 and a NISMO-tuned variant developed exclusively for the Middle East,complemented by adaptive air suspension for refined comfort and total control across allterrains.

While Patrol is the first to debut this elevated digital experience, Nissan plans to expandthis connectivity suite across other models in its lineup later this year.
