AVATR and Huawei Elevate Smart Driving in the Middle East with Petal Maps and Arabic Localization

A new era of intelligent mobility is arriving in the Middle East as AVATR integrates Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) for Car and Petal Maps into its next-generation vehicles. The collaboration promises drivers advanced navigation, seamless connectivity, and a driving experience designed to reflect the cultural and practical needs of the region.

With enhanced Arabic support, Petal Maps offers a localized navigation solution capable of recognizing Arabic voice commands, road names, and directions. Drivers can access precise arrival times, real-time traffic updates, 3D landmarks, and clear junction guidance. For long-distance travel or areas with weak coverage, offline maps ensure reliable navigation at all times.

Beyond routing, Petal Maps combines intelligent guidance with natural voice interaction and detailed Points of Interest such as charging stations, restaurants, and hotels, creating a premium and tailored driving experience for Middle Eastern customers.

Huawei’s Regional Commitment

William Hu, Managing Director of Huawei Consumer Business Group, Middle East and Africa, said:
“Our collaboration with AVATR embodies Huawei’s vision for HMS for Car, bringing advanced, seamless connectivity, and meaningful services into every journey. By integrating Petal Maps with enhanced Arabic support, alongside localized content platforms such as Anghami and Nabd, we are shaping a driving experience that is not only smarter and safer but also more engaging and culturally relevant. This reflects our commitment to innovation that adapts to the lifestyle and expectations of customers across the Middle East.”
