Kaiyi car production in Egypt to begin with local assembly plan

On January 27, multiple sources reported that Kaiyi car production in Egypt is moving forward after KME Motors Egypt, the official local agent of the Chinese brand, signed an agreement with the parent company to manufacture and assemble selected models domestically. The move reflects a broader push to strengthen local automotive manufacturing and improve cost competitiveness.

Kaiyi car production in Egypt through local assembly

Under the agreement, KME Motors Egypt will assemble Kaiyi vehicles at a government-owned car assembly plant that will be leased specifically for this project. Local assembly is expected to increase the use of locally sourced components, helping reduce overall production costs while supporting the domestic supply chain.

Focus on local content and cost efficiency

The localization strategy is designed to gradually raise the percentage of locally manufactured parts. This approach is expected to improve pricing flexibility and align with Egypt’s broader industrial development objectives in the automotive sector.

Production timeline and future capacity expansion

According to the reported plans, initial production is scheduled to begin in November 2026. Following the start of operations, the company intends to expand production in stages, increasing capacity as market demand and localization levels grow. This phased approach allows Kaiyi car production in Egypt to scale steadily while minimizing risk, ensuring quality standards, and building a sustainable manufacturing base for the brand in the local market.
