New Agreement to Manufacture Rox Cars in Egypt in Partnership with El Sewedy

Chinese automaker Rox Motors has signed an agreement to manufacture its vehicles in Egypt, in collaboration with El Arabi El Sewedy Company. The signing ceremony was held in the presence of Egypt's Minister of Industry and Minister of Investment, during which the establishment of a new joint venture named ROX ESI Egypt was announced, marking the partnership between the Chinese company and the Egyptian manufacturer.

Production to Begin with Rox 01 Model

Local production is expected to focus on electric or range-extended electric vehicles (REEV), with the Rox 01 likely being the first model to roll off the assembly line in Egypt. This move places Egypt among a very select group of countries manufacturing Rox vehicles, strengthening its position as a regional automotive hub.

Price Reductions and Export Plans

The local production of the Rox 01 is anticipated to lead to a noticeable reduction in its price. Furthermore, the company plans to export the vehicle from Egypt to various international markets, contributing to the Egyptian economy and boosting industrial exports.
