Milan, Italy- Geely Automobile Holdings Limited., has entered into a strategic distribution agreement with Jameel Motors to officially launch its operations in the Italian market. This move marks a key milestone in Geely’s global expansion, bringing its new energy vehicle (NEV) lineup to one of Europe’s most important automotive and design hubs.
Italy presents a strong growth opportunity, with the country’s NEV market experiencing rapid acceleration. In the first five months of 2025 alone, pure electric vehicle registrations rose by 132% year-on-year, signaling robust consumer interest in clean and sustainable mobility solutions. Recognizing this demand, Geely Auto will introduce two core models: the Geely EX5, a next-generation all-electric SUV, and a plug-in hybrid SUV, both developed on Geely’s advanced Global Intelligent Electric Architecture (GEEA).
These vehicles are designed to offer Italian customers a compelling blend of striking design, cutting-edge safety features, and dynamic performance. With these launches, Geely aims to establish itself as a serious contender in Italy’s growing electric vehicle space.
To support its entry, Geely Auto plans to build a comprehensive nationwide infrastructure, encompassing both sales and after-sales services. A key part of this strategy includes the development of a strong dealership network across Italy. The partnership with Jameel Motors, known for its deep expertise in automotive distribution, will help accelerate Geely’s market penetration and customer outreach.
Looking ahead, this collaboration forms the foundation for Geely Auto’s continued global growth. The company remains committed to strengthening its international presence, enhancing product competitiveness, and delivering innovative, high-quality mobility solutions to meet the evolving needs of global consumers.
Mr. Moe Wang, Deputy General Manager of GAIC, said, "The expansion into the Italian market is a pivotal stride in Geely Auto's global strategy. Through this profound collaboration with Jameel Motors, Geely is steadfast in its mission to deliver green, intelligent, and safe mobility solutions, thereby comprehensively elevating the consumer's travel experience."
Mr. Fady Jameel, Vice Chairman, International - Abdul Latif Jameel, said, "Our collaboration with Geely Auto seamlessly integrates innovation, quality, and a shared vision for sustainable mobility. We eagerly anticipate setting a new benchmark for electric mobility for Italian customers."
