Arab Finance: Automakers Kasrawy Group and Jetour inked an agreement to develop a new factory to locally assemble the Jetour T1 and T2 models, with an investment of $123 million, according to a statement.
Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly stated that the joint deal marks a significant move forward in the localization of the automotive industry in Egypt.
To be established on an area of 86,000 square meters in the 6th of October Industrial Zone, the new factory will include three production lines for welding, painting, and final assembly.
