Mannai Motors has launched a special showroom for price-busting Chinese JAC and Geely vehicles in Sitra.
It was inaugurated by Chinese Ambassador Li Zhigo at a special ceremony last week which also saw the launch of four new commercial vehicles and two cars.
Talal M A Al Mannai, managing director of Mannai Motors, described the event as 'a very important day' in the company's history. The company has added JAC commercial vehicles to its portfolio which already features Geely cars.
He said: "We are proud to say that we achieved this prestigious brand dealership because of our outstanding track record in our sales and after-sales operation."
