First Arab produced car to hit the market in June 2018

The UAE’s Sandstorm Automotive is producing the first “100% Arab-manufactured car,” with many parts sourced from Egypt. The company plans to launch its creation by June 2018 with the intention of producing 3,000-5,000 units in an initial run. Sandstorm “purchased glass, batteries, seats, and car horns from the Egyptian market, and seeks to establish a plant in Egypt and launch a production line that can export produced cars to Africa,” MEA Manager Karim Saleh tells Daily News Egypt.
