Tamer Qotb: Egypt Becomes First Global Market Outside China for Geely Monjaro Hybrid

Tamer Qotb, Vice President of the Automotive Sector at Abu Ghaly Motors Group, revealed that Egypt will be the first global market outside China to receive the Geely Monjaro Hybrid. The move reflects the global partner's confidence in the Egyptian market and local consumers' ability to embrace the latest technologies, according to Qotb. The market is moving fast.

Why Egypt First for Geely?

Speaking at the vehicle launch event, Qotb said the decision to offer the Geely Monjaro in its highest trim levels stems from the group's confidence in Egyptian consumer taste and its commitment to delivering products that match their aspirations in technology and equipment. This choice goes beyond simply launching a new car — it signals growing recognition of Egypt's capacity to absorb the latest global offerings from Geely. The market has become a key destination.

Strategic Partnership with Geely International

Qotb explained that the Geely Monjaro marks a new step in the group's strategy, as Abu Ghaly Motors agreed with Geely International at the end of 2025 to handle import and distribution of New Energy Vehicles (NEV) in the Egyptian market. The agreement covers not only electric cars but also hybrids alongside conventional vehicles. Infrastructure is expanding. The partnership spans multiple segments of the automotive market.

Positive Results Drive Expansion

Qotb noted that the group's strategy goes beyond launching new cars — it extends to raising Egyptian consumer awareness about electric and hybrid vehicle technologies, how to handle them, and charging requirements for daily use. Awareness is a core part of the equation. This approach supports sustainable adoption of these vehicle types in the local market.

He added that the first steps of Abu Ghaly Motors' strategy began in January 2026 with the launch of Geely EX2 and EX5 electric vehicles, along with the EX5 EM-i hybrid, which delivered positive results in the Egyptian market according to Qotb.

Market Share Approaching One-Third

Qotb pointed out that Geely electric vehicles topped EV sales in Egypt with a share of approximately 30% of the total market. That number is significant. These results reflect the group's ability to select products that match local consumer needs, alongside growing customer confidence in electric vehicles. Market share strengthens the brand's position.
