Zubair Automotive Group announces partnership with Foton Motor ...

Commenting on the signing, Mr. Hani Al Zubair, Chairman of the Zubair Automotive Group said; "The Chinese automotive industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in the world and Foton Motor Co has in a short period established a reputation for investing heavily in R&D to produce class leading commercial vehicles offering exceptional reliability, safety and value. For these reasons we're very excited to partner with our esteemed colleagues at Foton for this new relationship. Since the founding of the Zubair Automotive Group we have been committed to playing an integral part in developing a vibrant and competitive automotive sector in Oman and our association with Foton is testament to this objective. At the Zubair Automotive Group, we are confident that this strategic partnership will be hugely beneficial for the Omani customers."

Mr. Hani Al Zubair, Chairman of the Zubair Automotive Group, signed the agreement with Mr. He Feng Wang, General Manager of Beiqi Foton Overseas Operations. Present at the signing ceremony were Mr. Serdar Toktamis, Group General Manager of the Zubair Automotive Group, Mr. A V Rammohan, General Manager of the Commercial Group, and Mr. Mohammed Hubais, General Manager of Operations.

In addition, Mr. Chandler Cheng, Manager of the GCC region, and Mr. James Zhu, Manager of Commercial Vehicles, represented Foton.
Foton is one of the leading automobile manufacturers of China and is rapidly expanding operations on a global scale.

Headquartered in Beijing, with existing assets of nearly 30 billion Yuan and employing an approximately 40,000-strong workforce - Foton is a large enterprise group that manufactures vehicles and parts for a global customer base. Throughout the Middle East, Foton has already appointed several strong dealers, and in Oman, Zubair Automotive Group is synonymous with supplying quality and reliable automobile brand products and services - making this newly announced partnership a perfect fit.

The Zubair Automotive Group has an exclusive vehicle distribution agreement for complete built-up vehicles, which means that this exclusive agreement is valid for sales, service and spare parts related activities for Foton products, covering commercial vehicles, pickups, minibuses and Vans.

Foton is increasingly recognised world-over for manufacturing high-quality commercial vehicles and making them available to customers at reasonable prices; this unique combination of value and dependability will ensure that clients in Oman will have a great choice when it comes to purchasing commercial vehicles.

"Foton is a brand that has rapidly grown to represent quality and innovation, while Zubair Automotive Group is one of the largest automobile distributors in Oman, with an extensive network throughout the Sultanate. Foton products will make concrete business sense in Oman, by reducing operating costs as well as by ensuring that customers in Oman have access to quality products," said Mr. Mohammed Hubais.

In order to provide customers in Oman with outstanding sales and after sales support, and to demonstrate the commitment from the Zubair Automotive Group, there are plans to build an exclusive 3S (Sales - Service - Spare Parts) facility in the Muscat governorate within the next few months. In the Oman interiors, Zubair Automotive Group has plans to establish similar facilities through its group facilities or sub dealerships to ensure that the reach of the Foton brand is strategically broadened across the Sultanate.

Mr. Hubais added, "Foton is unquestionably one of the top manufacturers of commercial and light passenger vehicles in China. Foton vehicles are known for their reliability, durability, and low maintenance cost and fuel efficiency. Their state-of-the-art technology, in-depth research and stringent quality control practices ensure high quality product with better 'value for money'. Auman, Aumark, View, Tunland and Loxa are the models of Foton which Zubair will be launching in the Omani market to suit the varied customer requirements in Oman."
