Abu Dhabi: Eneron’s Magnus hybrid police vehicle, debuting by 2028, offers a 900 km range, drone deployment, and EV charging. Designed for off-road autonomy and equipped with high-tech surveillance, it marks a leap in UAE’s green mobility and smart public safety initiatives.
Eneron, the tactical mobility arm of UAE-based Kintsugi Holding, has recently unveiled the Magnus, an advanced hybrid police vehicle designed to meet the specific operational requirements of Abu Dhabi Police. This futuristic vehicle, expected to debut between 2027 and 2028, represents a significant leap in law enforcement technology, integrating multiple functionalities that extend beyond mere patrol duties.
Revealed at the ‘Make it in the Emirates’ exhibition held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) in May 2025, Magnus is more than a conventional patrol unit. It serves as a mobile command centre, drone launcher, and electric vehicle (EV) charging station, underscoring the UAE’s commitment to innovation and its growing focus on local manufacturing and smart public safety solutions.
One of the standout features of the Magnus is its hybrid engine, which enables it to travel up to 900 km on a single charge, offering significant operational range for urban and off-road missions. It is equipped with a driver and a command officer to facilitate effective communication and decision-making on the ground. Moreover, the vehicle’s ability to launch drones in real time enhances its surveillance and inspection capabilities, allowing law enforcement to monitor areas efficiently from above.
As articulated by Waleed Alblooshi, Senior Manager of Corporate Communications at Eneron, the design of Magnus is closely aligned with the UAE’s ambitious green mobility agenda. He stated, “It can operate autonomously off-road and be controlled remotely. It’s equipped with multiple cameras providing a 360-degree view and real-time data for surveillance.” This dual focus on mobility and sustainability supports the increasing adoption of EVs in the region, providing emergency charging support for vehicles stranded during operations.
The Magnus concept is part of a broader trend in the UAE towards integrating cutting-edge technology into public service and safety. Similar projects have emerged, including the introduction of the Magnum MK1, a driverless patrol vehicle featuring advanced surveillance capabilities and designed for secure transport of detainees. The MK1, which made its debut at Gitex Global 2024, reflects a parallel trajectory in enhancing police capabilities with AI-driven technology, providing real-time interactions and data analysis.
Furthermore, the Magnus vehicle includes robust defensive features, such as a ballistic and anti-mine blast protection system, making it suitable for challenging terrains and high-threat environments. With an impressive top speed of 130 km/h and the ability to operate autonomously, the vehicle embodies the UAE’s vision for a secure and efficient law enforcement framework.
As the country continues to prioritise advancements in policing and public safety, the Magnus is poised to change the landscape of law enforcement. By the end of this decade, the sight of such high-tech vehicles supporting police operations may become commonplace, heralding a new era in smart policing, tactical mobility, and enhanced public service efficiency in the UAE.
The arrival of the Magnus signifies not only a commitment to innovation but also a strategic move to bolster the UAE’s position as a leader in public safety solutions on a global scale.
