A Sri Lankan company, Global Conversions, has achieved a world first – successfully converting a Hummer EV SUV to right-hand drive. Based in Ras Al-Khaimah, UAE, this company specializes in automobile re-engineering.

Global Conversions doesn’t just convert vehicles; they ensure quality. Chairman Suresh Edirisinghe emphasizes that not only did they complete the conversion, but they also rigorously tested and validated its functionality to meet the highest safety and performance standards. This successful Hummer EV conversion marks a significant milestone for the company, adding to their portfolio of satisfied customers and expertly converted vehicles.

The move to Ras Al-Khaimah from Sri Lanka was a strategic decision. It allows Global Conversions to expand their business internationally and become a central hub for customers worldwide, simplifying access and travel for everyone involved.

Their expertise extends beyond the groundbreaking Hummer EV conversion. Global Conversions also transforms a variety of American left-hand drive vehicles, including popular brands like GMC, Ford, and Chevrolet, as well as North American Toyota and Nissan models, all into right-hand drive configurations.

Building on the 78-year legacy of his family’s company, Edirisinghe Brothers Ltd., Suresh Edirisinghe has leveraged his deep knowledge and expertise to establish Global Conversions as a leader in the field of automobile re-engineering.
