Operating metrics
Each figure carries its own source and as-of date. Delivery counts come from Palki Motors’ reconciled internal order ledger and are updated as that ledger is reconciled. Figures sourced to the Zayed Phase II Final Report are self-reported and were calculated on the vehicle count stated in that report.
13 electric vehicles fully manufactured and delivered to customers
All 13 are Cityboy V2. This figure is taken from Palki Motors’ reconciled internal order ledger, which counts a vehicle as delivered only when it has been handed to a customer and the sale retained. It supersedes the 26-vehicle figure previously published here, which was sourced to the Zayed Phase II Final Report (2026-04-09).
