China’sGAC Motors opens parts distribution center in Jebel Ali freezone: Chinese-based automobile manufacturer Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC) subsidiary GAC Motors opened its new parts distribution center at the UAE’s Jebel Ali Freezone last week, according to a press release. The center — dubbed the Middle East Parts Distribution Center — is the first of seven warehouses GAC plans to set up overseas as part of its expansion plans.

The details: The center’s warehouses currently have in their stock over 2k types of component car parts worth more than USD 1.5 mn, according to the statement. The center helped reduce the order cycle time from 25 days to just a week during trial operations, which began in June. The warehouse will also ensure the provision of GAC’s models — including GS3, GS5 and GS8 — and its new EMKOO and EMZOOM models, the statement said.
