Lucid is entering an exciting new chapter in Saudi Arabia. We’re taking our manufacturing facility in King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC), AMP-2, from initial assembly to full production. We are expanding rapidly and hiring across manufacturing, engineering, quality, supply chain, operations, and more. This next phase marks more than growth. It represents our deepening investment in the Kingdom’s future and the next era of sustainable, electric mobility.

When we cut the ribbon on AMP-2 in September 2023, we didn’t just open a new facility, we opened the Kingdom’s first-ever car manufacturing plant. It was a historic first for Saudi Arabia and a defining step for Lucid as our first international manufacturing site, built to produce vehicles for the Kingdom and for the world.

From the outset, this site has embodied partnership and ambition. AMP-2 stands on the shoulders of collaboration with Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA), Saudi Industrial Development Fund (SIDF), and King Abdullah Economic Center (KAEC), aligning directly with Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative. This is where Saudi progress and Lucid’s uncompromising performance meet.

Accelerating the Kingdom’s Electric Future

Saudi Arabia is undergoing a historic transformation. Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative set ambitious goals for 30% of new car sales to be electric by 2030, supported by bold national investments in infrastructure, industry, and innovation. This vision aligns directly with Lucid’s mission: through technology, we create exceptional experiences to drive the world forward.

In 2023, we began the final assembly of Lucid Air vehicles in KAEC at our SKD (semi-knockdown) facility, marking the start of a new chapter for both the Kingdom and for Lucid. Construction of our CBU (complete build unit) factory is on track to complete by the end of 2026, with a designed capacity to scale to ~150,000 EVs annually. By merging design, technology, performance, and sustainability, the vehicles that will be produced at AMP-2 demonstrate what it means to build the electric future without compromise.

AMP2 Manufacturing in KAEC

KAEC was chosen strategically: world-class port access, proximity to Jeddah, and the space to grow thoughtfully. It gives Lucid an ideal foundation to build an EV ecosystem from the ground up—one that connects local expertise with global reach.

As part of the King Salman Automotive Cluster, AMP-2 sits at the heart of Saudi Arabia’s emerging mobility hub. This cluster brings together suppliers, logistics partners, and supporting industries to accelerate the Kingdom’s automotive capabilities. It is an ideal environment for Lucid to scale advanced manufacturing and innovation.

But AMP-2 is more than a manufacturing site. It’s a symbol of the Kingdom’s transformation, creating thousands of jobs and empowering a new generation of Saudi talent to shape the future of mobility. Through our partnerships with the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) and the National Automotive and Vehicles Academy (NAVA) in KAEC, Lucid is developing the next generation of EV professionals. Some participants get to train in both Saudi Arabia and at Lucid’s U.S. facilities before bringing their expertise back home, so “Made in Saudi” means built to a single global standard.

Creating the Future of Electric Mobility

At AMP-2, every day brings something new. We’re not just assembling vehicles. We’re building the foundation of an entire industry. For many on our team, it’s the first time they’ve worked in an environment that blends Saudi ambition with Silicon Valley innovation.

Our engineers and technicians work side by side with experts from Lucid’s facilities in Arizona and California, sharing ideas and solving challenges together. Whether it’s refining a process in the body shop or validating new technology on the line, every role at AMP-2 contributes directly to what makes Lucid best-in-class.

What makes working at AMP-2 unique isn’t just the scale of what we’re building, but the sense of ownership and purpose you get every day. Everyone here knows they’re part of something historic: the first Saudi-made electric vehicles, crafted to the same uncompromising standards as every Lucid on the road.

Come Join AMP-2 Today

Great products are built by people determined to learn and grow for the long-term. AMP-2 is designed to provide that opportunity, along with the “Made in Saudi” pride our teams feel every time a vehicle rolls off the line.

AMP-2 marks just the beginning of Lucid’s journey in Saudi Arabia. As we scale production and expand our teams, every vehicle built here carries the spirit of innovation and mastery that defines both Lucid and the Kingdom’s future.

Join us at KAEC and help drive the next era of electric mobility.
