Despite using the same names, the Ajban and Hafeet Mk 2 vehicles mark a complete design departure, Khaled Ahmed Al Zaabi, Nimr’s chief commercial officer, told
Janes before the show.
“We realised exactly a year ago that our product portfolio was due an evolution and we realised that we could not simply upgrade the existing designs. We had to start from scratch,” Al Zaabi said.
