SHANGHAI, Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With four days to go before its Global Brand Launch at Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental in Abu Dhabi on 29 September, FREELANDER is offering an early look at five highlights of the event. Held under the theme Beyond the Legend, the launch will mark a new chapter for FREELANDER as an independent global brand, unveiling its brand positioning, global vision and strategy, and its first strategic model, FREELANDER 8.

A New Global Chapter, Beyond the Legend

First introduced in 1997, Freelander brought everyday comfort and authentic all-terrain capability together. Today, FREELANDER builds on these foundations as an independent global brand, positioned as a British Premium Intelligent All-Terrain Brand. Beyond the Legend carries this story into its next chapter — taking the spirit of FREELANDER’s heritage forward through intelligent innovation, distinctive design and a broader vision for the future.

FREELANDER 8, Built for the World

At the centre of the event will be the international left-hand-drive variant of FREELANDER 8, making its first appearance in the Middle East. Developed with diverse international markets in mind, the brand’s first strategic nameplate combines British design heritage with signature details such as the Castle-Style Body Design and Iconic Triangle Window, alongside a cabin finished in Premium Nappa Leather and Selected Ayous Wood Veneer. Its appearance in Abu Dhabi will showcase a vehicle conceived for customers around the world.

Intelligence with Local Understanding

For customers in the Middle East, intelligence is also about technology that responds to local lifestyles and environmental conditions. At the launch, FREELANDER will reveal the Middle East-exclusive features and regional tuning developed for FREELANDER 8, shaped around the needs of customers in the region and the demands of its climate.

The Technology Behind All-Terrain Capability

The launch will take audiences behind the engineering that underpins the all-terrain capability of FREELANDER 8. At its core is i-ATS (Intelligent All-Terrain System), which integrates 9 terrain modes. In Smart Mode, the system continuously monitors driving conditions and automatically switches to the optimal driving mode in real time. At the launch, i-ATS will be showcased alongside the vehicle’s dual-motor all-wheel drive and all-terrain functions including Tank Turn, Crawl Control and Hill Descent Control, with the brand’s engineering experts set to offer deeper insights into how these systems work together.

A Global Journey Beginning in the Middle East

The Middle East is FREELANDER’s strategic starting point, and the UAE is its first international market. FREELANDER has confirmed dealer partnerships with Al Tayer Motors for Dubai and the Northern Emirates, and Premier Motors for Abu Dhabi. On 29 September, the brand will outline its market expansion, regional partnerships and network development as the next phase of its global journey begins in Abu Dhabi.

Together, these five highlights offer a first look at what audiences can expect when FREELANDER goes Beyond the Legend in Abu Dhabi. Further news from the Global Brand Launch will follow on 29 September.

25 September, 08:30 CET

Further to the statements issued on 17 August and 14 September following missile strikes on ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, ArcelorMittal (‘the Company’) has with deep regret advised the Government of Ukraine that it is unable to restart operations at its Ukrainian subsidiary in a safe and sustainable manner.

Over the past five weeks, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih has been targeted by four missile strikes, resulting in fatalities, injuries and extensive damage to production facilities. The most recent attack occurred on 21 September. In total the four attacks claimed five lives and injured 17 employees, one of whom remains in a critical condition.

Commenting, Mauro Longobardo, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih CEO, said:
“It is with deep regret that we have concluded that we are no longer able to safely operate ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih. Since the war started, our people in Ukraine have worked tirelessly to keep the mines and plant operating. They have been the embodiment of bravery, in circumstances most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are discussing the future of the plant with the Government of Ukraine and will focus on preserving the infrastructure, so when peace finally returns, options for restarting production remain available.”

Since the start of the war in February 2022, ArcelorMittal’s priority has been the safety and economic security of its Ukrainian employees. Employees from across ArcelorMittal rallied to support their Ukrainian colleagues and a range of measures were introduced locally to support employees and their families. The strength and resilience shown by ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih’s workforce throughout the conflict has been extraordinary.

ArcelorMittal has also provided financial support to ensure continuity of operations at ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, providing over US$700 million to ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih.

ArcelorMittal expects to record a non-cash impairment charge of approximately US$1 billion, principally reflecting the impairment of property, plant and equipment at ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih.
