The visit aims to discuss expansion plans in the local market, increase production capacity, enhance local manufacturing, and address the launch of several new models in the coming period.

Expansion Plans and Production Increase

The visit included a series of intensive meetings between Alex Nan and Fahad Al-Ghanim, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Automobility.
