According to an employee of the Chinese carmaker, these vehicles not only play an important role in China, but also are welcomed by African consumers.
Osama Aboul-Magd, head of the Egyptian Automotive Dealers Association, noted that Chinese vehicles appeal to consumers because of their excellent quality. This explains why Chinese cars are able to penetrate the African market. For Africans, Chinese vehicles are used for not only transportation, but also production. Whether working as ride-hailing drivers, truckers, or transit operators, many Africans rely on Chinese vehicles to earn a living.
In Southeast Asia, an experience store of a Chinese car brand in Bangkok received many potential customers even before its official opening. In South America's Chile, Chinese brands like Maxus, Chery, Great Wall Motor, Changan Automobile, JAC Motors, Foton, and JMC Motors have already become the first choice for local car buyers.
