About STR8 International
Where Deep Expertise Meets Global Ambition
We are a specialist consultancy built on 15+ years at the forefront of the electric vehicle revolution — from Norway's world-leading EV market to the fast-growing corridors of the Middle East.
Our Story
Our Story
STR8 International was founded with a singular conviction: that the transition to electric mobility is the defining industrial shift of our era, and that navigating it successfully demands more than generic strategy advice.
Our roots are in Norway — a country where electric vehicles account for 98% of new car sales and where the entire EV ecosystem, from charging infrastructure to battery recycling, has been stress-tested at scale. That real-world laboratory gave us an unmatched depth of practical knowledge.
Today, headquartered in Dubai, we bring that expertise to OEMs, battery manufacturers, material handling companies, fleet operators, and investors across the Middle East, Europe, and beyond — helping them move decisively in a market that rewards speed and precision.
