Economic Key25-05-2025

• TRIS will be a game-changer for B2B micromobility in MEA, addressing business mobility needs and offering a tool for economic empowerment and social inclusion.
FIAT continues its journey toward sustainable mobility with the launch of TRIS, a groundbreaking three-wheeled electric vehicle. As FIAT's first-ever 3-wheel model, TRIS expands the FIAT Professional family with a new versatile vehicle available in three configurations: chassis-cabin, flatbed, and pick-up. It has been designed to meet the needs of micro transportation, merging iconic Italian design, affordability, and versatility into an easy-to-use, zero-emissions business solution. FIAT Professional has strategically positioned TRIS to play a pivotal role in its global expansion, particularly in the Africa & Middle East region.
Olivier Francois, FIAT CEO, and Stellantis Global Chief Marketing Officer commented: 'TRIS is more than just a new vehicle—it's a breakthrough in how we think about urban mobility. Born from Italian creativity at the Centro Stile and engineered for the realities of daily life. As cities grow and the need for clean, accessible transport becomes more urgent, we saw an opportunity to offer something radically simple and profoundly useful. TRIS answers that call—providing independent workers, small businesses, and underserved communities with a cost-effective, zero-emissions tool to move forward. With its debut in the Middle East and Africa, TRIS is set to transform last-mile mobility and open new doors to economic empowerment and social inclusion. And we believe its potential goes far beyond—Europe may be next, because this kind of smart, sustainable solution speaks a universal language.'
The name 'TRIS' draws inspiration from the vehicle's three wheels, its modular design, and its signature three-light LED arrangement. The name's simplicity ensures easy pronunciation across multiple languages, allowing it to resonate with diverse global audiences.
By combining sustainability, affordability, and practicality, TRIS is a smart business solution designed to meet the challenges of modern mobility while staying true to FIAT Professional's legacy of innovation and excellence. As a versatile business vehicle, TRIS is designed to serve a wide range of professional applications, from urban logistics and last-mile delivery to mobile businesses and essential transportation services. The vehicle's compact dimensions, electric powertrain, and adaptable design make it an ideal solution for congested city environments and fast-growing areas with developing economies.
Manufactured in Morocco, TRIS will be introduced in the main markets across the MEA region, demonstrating FIAT Professional's commitment to mobility for all. It offers a flexible and scalable solution: its affordability, ease of use, and low running costs make it an inclusive vehicle – breaking down traditional barriers to new vehicle ownership. By offering leasing and lease-to-own options, it empowers a broader spectrum of users, from local entrepreneurs to economy workers.
Samir Cherfan, Chief Operating Officer of Stellantis for the Middle East and Africa region, said: Faced with the rapid growth in mobility needs in the MEA region, Stellantis continues its commitment to the micromobility sector. Guided by our ambition to drive change, we are strengthening our investments in this sector, which is no longer limited to moving people: it is a powerful driver of inclusion and local economic growth. From last-mile delivery to digital platform services, micromobility supports entrepreneurs, boosts logistics, and strengthens communities, both in dynamic cities and underserved rural areas.
As the MEA region's urban population grows by 3% annually, micromobility offers a scalable and sustainable solution to growing congestion and transport deficits. With TRIS, we are making a real impact: a reliable, adaptable, and affordable vehicle designed to meet the region's evolving urban and peri-urban mobility needs.
TRIS Highlights: Compact, Capable, and Connected
At the heart of TRIS lies a deep commitment to efficiency. Its modular configuration, available as 3 versions, Flat Bed, Pick-Up and Chassis-Cabin, ensures maximum flexibility to cater to the diverse needs of professionals. The Pick-Up version is the ready-to-work solution ideal for transporting diverse goods such as fruit, sand, or furniture. The Flat Bed and Chassis-Cabin versions offer the perfect base for custom upfits—any specialized solution developed in collaboration with FIAT Professional's certified partners or directly by customers. The vehicle's layout prioritizes driver-centric ergonomics and spaciousness, providing ample room in all directions for better comfort, even during long shifts; its design prioritizes ease of use, making it simple to drive with no clutch or gearbox, while its integrated charging capability allows seamless recharging with a built-in 220V plug, eliminating the need for an external charger. Designed with durability in mind, it also features a robust chassis engineered for long-term performance—mirroring the structural sturdiness found in passenger cars. Its chassis and tubular structure are protected from corrosion with an automotive-grade zinc coating, ensuring lasting reliability even in demanding working conditions.
One of the key strengths of TRIS is its outstanding versatility. The vehicle is engineered to support a broad range of professional applications, including last-mile delivery, on-site services, and urban logistics. Its compact size—just 3.17 meters in length—combined with a tight 3.05-meter turning radius allows it to navigate narrow city streets with ease. The cargo area is also spacious, offering approximately 2.25 square meters of load space and the ability to accommodate a standard euro pallet. It also boasts a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 1,025 kg and an RCE-homologated payload capacity of maximum 540 kg.
TRIS is equipped with a range of advanced features: a modern 5.7-inches digital cluster displays essential driving information, including distance-to-empty and battery level.
Power accessibility is also a priority, with a USB-C plug and a 12V socket ensuring that devices can be charged on the go. The vehicle's LED lighting system, featuring FIAT's new signature pixel design, provides excellent visibility while reinforcing its distinctive styling. TRIS meets European homologation standards, incorporating three-point seat belts (compliant with EU safety regulations), front LED lighting with ignition-activated low beams, a reverse buzzer, and a washer tank.
The lithium battery, with a capacity of 6.9 kWh, provides a homologated range of 90 km (WMTC), ensuring sufficient autonomy for daily professional use across various urban and suburban settings. Notably, this is the same robust and proven battery technology used in the Fiat Topolino, now adapted to meet the specific demands of professional use, whose real-world performance has already been validated by vehicles in circulation.
Charging is designed to be hassle-free and convenient. Thanks to its integrated smart charging system, TRIS can be charged from 0 to 80% in just 3.5 hours, reaching the complete recharge in 4 hours and 40 minutes, using a standard domestic plug. This allows professionals to easily charge their vehicle overnight or between shifts, ensuring maximum uptime and efficiency for daily operations.
The vehicle's drivetrain has been carefully designed to balance performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Powered by a 48-volt electric motor delivering 9 kW (peak power) and a maximum torque of 45 Nm, TRIS is capable of reaching a top speed of 45 km/h. Stability is ensured by its optimized design, which includes a wide track rear axle, enlarged wheelbase and 12-inch tires, making it well-suited for both urban
and rural environments. Further developments will follow, as TRIS – like other FIAT Professional vehicles – will offer connected services as Fleet management or vehicle tracking.
TRIS is designed with a strong focus on driver comfort, recognizing the importance of ergonomics in professional vehicles. The spacious cabin allows easy entry and exit, reducing fatigue during frequent stops. The ergonomic driving position is tailored for long working hours, enhancing overall comfort. Practicality is also key, with multiple storage compartments, including a closed glove box on the dashboard for a total of 3-liters and additional storage nets as accessories. Accessory range developed with FIAT Centro Stile and Mopar also includes a robust protective floor mat.
TRIS represents a true breakthrough in the three-wheeler world: its bold, contemporary design is unlike anything else on the road, standing out with its distinctive LED front face, harmonious proportions, and expressive Italian aesthetic. More than just functional, TRIS tells a story of transformation—bringing character, confidence, and credibility to the professional e-mobility space.

EGPC & Petrobel Begin Production at Zohr 6 Gas Field

The Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation and Petrobel have started production at the Zohr 6 field, targeting 40–50 million cubic feet of gas per day to help stabilise Egypt's energy supply. Jun 20, 2025 The Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) and Petrobel have begun natural gas production from the Zohr 6 field in the Mediterranean Sea, with initial output estimated between 40 and 50 million cubic feet per day starting in June. The new production comes as part of a broader strategy to increase domestic gas supply and reduce reliance on imports, particularly for electricity generation and industrial Zohr 6 field was prepared for operation following the arrival of a drilling vessel in January and the completion of key water leakage mitigation procedures, including chemical injection and well isolation measures designed to ensure production remains central to Egypt's long-term energy strategy. Since the start of its development with Italian energy giant Eni, the field has attracted total investments of approximately USD 39 billion, with USD 13.5 billion specifically allocated to field development. Current production from the Zohr field ranges between 1.1 and 1.2 billion cubic feet per day, accounting for around 30% of Egypt's total natural gas launch of Zohr 6 aligns with ongoing offshore exploration and drilling activity in the Mediterranean. Between July 2024 and May 2025, eight new wells were drilled and another eight evaluated across various offshore blocks. Five new gas discoveries were made during the current fiscal year, which are expected to feed into Egypt's medium-term energy declining output from mature fields has prompted Egypt to import around 1.6 billion cubic feet of gas per day through LNG shipments and regional pipelines, currently meeting 25 to 30% of the country's overall gas demand. The new output from Zohr 6 is part of efforts to reduce that reliance and stabilise domestic energy availability.

Juventus extend Adidas partnership to 2037 in $468 million deal

(Reuters) - Juventus have extended their technical partnership with German sportswear giant Adidas until June 2037, in a deal worth 408 million euros ($468 million) over a decade, the Serie A club said in a statement. The current agreement between the two parties, which runs until June 2027, will remain unchanged, the Italian club said. The new contract will then take effect from the 2027-2028 season and cover all Juventus teams until the end of the 2036-2037 season. "This renewal fills us with pride and testifies to the synergy between these two great companies," said Maurizio Scanavino, Juventus Chief Executive Officer. Juventus, famed for their black and white shirts, said the valuation for the new agreement does not include additional royalties for exceeding certain sales volumes or variable components linked to sporting results. "We're delighted to extend our partnership with the most decorated club in Italian football for a further 10 years," said Sam Handy, General Manager of Adidas Football. Juventus have won the Italian league title more than any other rival club. Juventus and Adidas joined forces from the 2015/2016 season. The German sportswear group has a long-term partnership in place with English Premier League club Manchester United which runs until 2035, and also works with other teams including Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Juventus said last month that U.S. carmaker Jeep will pay 69 million euros to become its main shirt sponsor until June 2028.
