Egypt's Geely EV and Hybrid Assembly Project: 4 Models and 2027 Production Date

Tamer Kotb, Deputy Head of the Automotive Sector at Abu Ghali Motors, revealed the main outlines of a project to assemble new-energy Geely vehicles in Egypt. Current studies cover the local production of 4 models, with production scheduled to begin in the second half of 2027.

A Three-Way Partnership for Local Assembly

The project is being studied in cooperation between Geely Global, Abu Ghali Motors, and Nasr Company for Automobiles. Three entities have gathered around one table to assess the technical and economic feasibility before any official announcement.

The partnership revives the idea of local manufacturing for Chinese cars in the Egyptian market, aligning with the state's push toward localizing the auto industry. Two ministries are said to be following the file closely.

Timeline and Target Models

The second half of 2027 stands as the preliminary date for rolling out the first units from Egyptian assembly lines. Technical studies and model selection for the four vehicles are currently underway.

Geely electric and hybrid cars represent a significant boost for clean energy in Egypt, aligning with the national strategy for green transport. The announced timeline gives local infrastructure time to prepare for electric mobility.

Abu Ghali Motors brings long experience in the Chinese brand's local distribution. Kotb confirmed the ongoing studies cover the models best suited to Egyptian customer needs and technical requirements.
