Jameel Motors Appointed Distributor for OMODA & JAECOO in Iraq
By John Lee.
Jameel Motors has signed an agreement with China's Chery Group to distribute the OMODA & JAECOO vehicle brand in Iraq, marking a first market entry for both companies.
According to a press release, the distribution rights were secured through a competitive process involving local and international firms.
It adds that Iraq's automotive sector, which represents 8 to 10 percent of national imports, is seeing rising demand for New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), particularly among young, tech-savvy consumers. Jameel Motors plans to launch sales of the OMODA C5 and C7, and the JAECOO J5, J7, and J8 models in Q4 2025.
Jameel Motors Iraq will be led by Kamal Sultan, an industry veteran with over a decade's experience in the Iraqi market, including senior roles at Toyota Iraq, Nissan Iraq, and several other automotive brands.
The partnership aims to expand mobility options, create local jobs, and introduce Chery's intelligent manufacturing standards to Iraq.
