Jameel Motors, Geely Auto to enter Italian market with new energy passenger vehicles

Jameel Motors, a leading provider of mobility solutions and partner of choice for top automotive brands, has signed a distribution agreement with Geely Auto,  a globally renowned auto group, to bring Geely’s new energy passenger vehicles (NEVs) to the Italian market. 

Italy is a new market entry for the two automotive leaders, with Jameel Motors having won the distribution agreement through a competitive process involving both local and international companies, shortly after winning the agreement for Poland in April. 

Italy is one of Europe’s most relevant markets, with a strong potential for NEV growth. In the first five months of 2025, joint sales of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles accounted for 11% in the Italian market — a remarkable 132% year-on-year increase in EV registrations, signaling strong demand for innovative international brands. 

This presents a long-term opportunity and supports Jameel Motors’ strategic expansion into high-potential markets. 

Jameel Motors Italia will be bringing advanced automotive technology, a fresh choice of high-quality vehicles, and first-class customer service to Italian drivers, while contributing to the country’s growing shift toward electric mobility.

Jameel Motors Italia will officially launch two of Geely Auto’s standout models in the final quarter of this year. The two models are the Geely EX5, a next-generation all-electric SUV, and a plug-in Super Hybrid SUV. Geely Auto vehicles are built on the brand’s advanced modular platform architecture, delivering state-of-the-art design, safety, performance and offering the highest quality underpinned by its six-year warranty. Jameel Motors Italia aims to develop a professional dealer network across the country, offering approximately 100 Sales and Service points when fully operational.

Fady Jameel, vice chairman, Jameel Motors, said: “This marks an exciting new chapter for Jameel Motors as we expand into Italy — one of Europe’s most high-potential automotive markets. Our collaboration with Geely Auto brings together innovation, quality, and a shared commitment to a more sustainable mobility future. 

“By winning this agreement, we look forward to offering Italian customers a new standard in electric mobility with advanced vehicles that truly meet their evolving needs. We also look forward to seeing Jameel Motors continue its international expansion as a distinguished partner in the mobility sector.”

Moe Wang, vice president of Geely Auto International Corporation, said: “Expanding to Italy is an important step in Geely Auto’s globalization strategy. With the in-depth cooperation with Jameel Motors, Geely Auto will fulfill its mission of providing green, intelligent and convenient mobility solutions, and comprehensively enhance consumers' mobility experience.” 

Jasmmine Wong, chief executive officer, Jameel Motors, said: “This is an incredible opportunity at a time when the market has become increasingly dynamic due to the green transition and the rapid technological change in the automotive sector. The ability to innovate, listen to the customer, and anticipate trends will be our strength, allowing us to offer increasingly innovative and sustainable solutions.”

Jameel Motors Italia will be led by Marco Santucci, a seasoned automotive executive with almost three decades of experience in the Italian market. 

Santucci has held pivotal roles at Ford, Toyota Motor Europe, and most recently served as president and CEO of Jaguar Land Rover Italy. 

Renowned for his leadership and expertise in sales and marketing, innovation, and customer experience, he brings a track record of driving performance and sustainable growth. 

His deep industry insight and strategic mindset position him as a key asset in advancing Jameel Motors Italia’s vision.

Marco Santucci, managing director, Jameel Motors Italia, said: “With Geely Auto’s cutting-edge technology and Jameel Motors’ customer-first approach, we are well-positioned to deliver real value to the market. Remaining flexible and open to change will be the key to ensuring a future of success, generating a positive impact for the market and our customers.” 

Geely Auto is a leading Chinese automobile manufacturer and pioneer in intelligent driving, with a presence in more than 80 countries and sales of over 2.17 million vehicles in 2024. 

Geely Auto operates with an innovation-first mindset, driven by more than 50,000 employees working across 12 factories and 5 global R&D centers in Hangzhou, Ningbo, Gothenburg, Coventry and Frankfurt. 

Most recently, it released the first ‘Intelligent Vehicle AI’ technology system. Furthermore, Geely Auto has consistently ranked as a top ESG performer within its sector, having achieved an AA grade in the MSCI ESG Rating and as part of the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index.

Since 2023, Italy has been Geely Auto's hub for creativity and design with the establishment of Geely Innovation Design Center in Milan. 

It works in tandem with the Geely global design network for vehicle design and concept development. From working closely with top-tier Italian designers to provide electric mobility solution to local consumers, Geely is committed to firmly establishing its brand in Italy with increasing awareness.

Jameel Motors represents some of the world’s most recognized commercial and passenger vehicle brands and has operations in more than 10 countries across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia. 

This agreement marks another milestone as Jameel Motors continues to expand internationally and harness innovation for the future of mobility.

Locals embrace short getaways while foreign pilgrims spend in KSA

Locals embrace short getaways while foreign pilgrims spend in KSA

Travelers from Saudi Arabia took full advantage of this year’s extended Eid Al-Adha break, turning the six-day (June 5-10) holiday into an opportunity for cultural exploration, both at home and abroad. While many residents jetted off for short international getaways, the Kingdom also welcomed millions of foreign pilgrims during the Hajj season, driving a steady increase in travel to Saudi Arabia and spending.

According to Visa’s Travel Pulse: Eid Al-Adha Edition, international travel by Saudi residents rose by 25 percent compared to the same period in 2024. This growth was driven by a strong preference for shorter trips, with 69 percent of travelers from the Kingdom opting for brief weekend getaways. They also made 21 percent more purchases abroad and spent 13 percent more overall this Eid, reflecting a preference to maximize the holidays with quick trips abroad.

This Eid, international getaways became an opportunity for many Saudi travelers to indulge in retail experiences. Shopping led the way across all major destinations, influencing not just how people spent, but also where they chose to go.

•UAE led as the top international destination, welcoming 14 percent of Saudi travelers and accounting for 23 percent of total international spend. With an average spend of $635 per card, fashion took center stage — seven of the top 10 merchants were in the shopping and apparel category. Among the top brands were Dubai Duty Free Stores, Hermes, and Cartier, reflecting both a preference for convenient airport shopping and a strong appetite for luxury. Dining and entertainment were also high on the agenda.

•Nine percent of travelers went to Turkiye, making it the second most popular destination. It captured 15 percent of overall holiday spend with each visitor spending an average of $653 per card.

•While the UK attracted a smaller share of travelers from Saudi Arabia (6 percent) and overall spend (12 percent), it captured the highest spend per card at $839. This figure reflects the destination’s premium retail appeal, with shopping leading how Saudi visitors chose to spend.

Meanwhile, the Hajj season continued to play a meaningful role in Saudi Arabia’s economic landscape. Compared to the same period last year, the Kingdom saw a 7 percent increase in the number of foreign pilgrims, who made 16 percent more purchases during their stay. While overall spending grew by 4 percent, key shopping categories remained unchanged, including food, medicine, and other everyday needs, with smaller portions of spend going toward clothing and travel-related services.

“Whether it’s a short break or a meaningful pilgrimage, having a simple and secure way to pay matters at every step of the journey,” said Ali Bailoun, regional general manager for Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Oman at Visa. 

“We are proud to support that through our unique data insights and seamless, reliable payment solutions, and to contribute to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 by helping create more connected, inclusive and seamless payment experiences across borders.”

For businesses and banks, Visa’s Travel Pulse offers unique insights to improve the payment experience for Saudi Visa cardholders traveling abroad or opting for local experiences.
