SAIC-GM-Wuling, a General Motors Co. joint venture, plans to assemble autos in Egypt from kits made in China, competing in the same markets targeted by Chinese domestic car exporters.
GM said Tuesday that production at General Motors Egypt from Chevrolet Move vehicle kits produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling would begin by the third quarter of 2012.
Introducing the Chevrolet Move, a van, in Egypt will help expand its market there, while also allowing SAIC-GM-Wuling to increase output and improve its competitiveness.
GM Egypt plans to produce about 5,000 Moves a year. GM also sells an imported van, the Chevrolet N200, in Egypt and other African markets.
