Jameel Motors signs distribution deal with GAC
Jameel Motors has signed a joint venture with Chinese vehicle manufacturer GAC Group to distribute its vehicles in the UK.
GAC is one of China’s major car manufacturers. With more than 100,000 sales across 84 countries in 2024, it is recognised for safety, quality, innovation, and sustainability, and ranked 181 in the Fortune Global 500.
The new agreement builds on the distribution agreement between Jameel Motors and GAC in Poland, and adds the first passenger vehicle to its UK portfolio.
It will launch two all-electric GAC models initially, a C-segment SUV and the AION UT, a B-segment hatchback. They will be available through select retail partners across the UK from the end of the first quarter next year.
Additional models will follow to expand the AION line-up.
Joint venture
Jammine Wong, Jameel Motors CEO, said: “The joint venture with GAC represents a shared vision, and an exciting opportunity to meet the UK’s growing demand for smarter, cleaner passenger vehicles.
“Led by customer preference and guided by our expertise, we’re committed to staying ahead of trends and delivering first-class solutions that are both innovative and sustainable.”
GAC International president Wayne Wei added: “GAC’s entry into the UK marks a crucial step in its internationalisation strategy. As we set foot in this dynamic market, GAC is committed to bringing industry-leading products and first-class services to UK consumers.”
