OMODA & JAECOO set up major spare parts hub in Jafza
OMODA & JAECOO, leading vehicle manufacturers, have established a 12,000-sq-m regional spare parts distribution hub in Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza).
The largest of its kind hub in the Middle East for a Chinese automotive brand, this facility has been launched through a strategic partnership with global logistics leader Maersk.
The hub ensures 100% spare parts availability and delivery within 24 to 48 hours, setting new benchmarks for aftersales support and operational readiness in the region, said Alaa Shata, Regional Brand Manager at OMODA & JAECOO.
Their UAE strategy is underpinned by a strong local presence through partnerships with AutoRun (Dubai), MAHY Khoory Automotive (Abu Dhabi), and Galadari Automobiles (Northern Emirates)—ensuring nationwide access, support, and customer engagement, she said
'OMODA & JAECOO is not simply introducing cars—they're delivering an ecosystem of intelligent mobility built on innovation, service, and user-centric design. Their approach reflects a broader global shift: where success in the automotive industry is no longer defined solely by horsepower or pricing, but by how well a brand integrates with people's lives, values, and aspirations,' Shata said.
Earlier this year, OMODA & JAECOO officially launched in the UAE with three flagship models designed for a new generation of drivers -- the intelligent and tech-forward OMODA C5, the versatile JAECOO J7, and the premium off-road-capable JAECOO J8. These vehicles bring together artificial intelligence, advanced driver assistance systems, and a design language tailored to digital lifestyles. With features like AI-powered cockpits, adaptive driving modes, and elevated in-cabin connectivity, they represent a clear shift toward more experiential, future-focused driving. - TradeArabia News Service

Maersk halts stops in Israel's Haifa due to Iran-Israel conflict
TDT | Manama *Danish shipping giant Maersk announced Friday that it was temporarily suspending vessel calls in Israel's Haifa port due to the country's conflict with Iran. Maersk said it made the decision after "careful analysis of threat risk reports in the context of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, specifically regarding the potential risks of calling Israeli ports and the ensuing implications for the safety of our vessel crews". "At the moment we are not experiencing further disruptions to our scheduled operations in the region," it added in a statement. The conflict erupted a week ago when Israel launched air strikes on Iran, saying its arch foe was on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon.

China Auto Industry On Verge Of Collapse As Six Major Cities Run Out Of Car-Buying Subsidies
China auto industry was already on the rocks. Recall, in late May we reported that a historic price war had broken out in China, one where the world's largest maker of EVs, BYD, had just cut prices by 34% in a desperate attempt to capture market share and put its competitors out of business (while unleashing a deflationary global shockwave that would crush EV makers around the globe). Overnight the world's largest maker of EVs, China's BYD (it surpassed Tesla last year) unleashed a price war nuke, cutting prices by up to 34%. Other Chinese automakers immediately followed. This will send a deflationary shockwave and spark major trade war escalation by Europe — zerohedge (@zerohedge) May 27, 2025 Just a few days later, Wei Jianjun, Chairman of Great Wall Motor – one of China's largest car makers – said China's auto industry was going through its own 'Evergrande' moment as a result of the unprecedented price war (for those who missed that particular episode, Evergrande is effectively China's Lehman, because while the largest financial asset in the US is capital markets in China it is real estate, and the 2021 collapse of Evergrande has left China's property market shocked and still unable to recover). And also roughly at the same time, we reported that China's Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (or CATL), the world's largest EV battery maker (and thus directly dependent on the viability and growth of the global EV industry), was receiving more in Chinese subsidies in 6 months than Chinese auto giants BYD, Great Wall and SAIC combined. All in order to maintain the illusion that China's EV industry was firing on all cylinders, to use a bad metaphor, and more importantly, to give the impression that China's economy was booming at a time when all eyes were on it as a result of the trade war with America (because woe to the loser). The problem, as every Potemkin village comes to realize sooner or later, is that one can only pretend for so long and eventually the stimulus money runs out. And in the case of China, the stimmies have almost run out. According to Reuters, at least six cities and municipalities across China have suspended trade-in subsidies for car buyers in June, which could grind to a halt most if not all new car sales in the world's second-biggest economy. Notices from governments in Zhengzhou and Luoyang blamed the subsidy pause on the first round of funding allocated by Beijing for the program running out, while Shenyang and Chongqing said the suspension was due to adjustments to improve capital efficiency. The northwestern region of Xinjiang issued a similar suspension. Beijing was pushing the communist economy into overdrive with the help of billions in stimmies to create the impression in April and May that all is well and that Trump's trade war isn't hurting China. But now, the money has run out. As Reuters reports, China's government has leaned on subsidies for big-ticket items, including cars, home appliances and some electronics to get people spending as consumer sentiment in the country remains sluggish amid a prolonged property slump and concerns over wage growth and unemployment. Naturally, the programmes – also known as free money – have been embraced with some enthusiasm, and as of May 31, there were more than 4 million applications submitted this year for car-specific trade-in subsidies, according to the country's Ministry of Commerce. Not surprisingly then that boosted by the torrential stimulus, Chinese retail sales data for May released earlier this week surprised on the upside… but economists quickly realized that subsidies were the main reason for the higher-than-expected 6.4% growth.

UAE's Dollar-Millionaires: Another 13,000 Join Resident Base In 2024, Says UBS
An additional 13,000 made it to the ranks of UAE's dollar millionaire resident base in 2024, according to the latest UBS 'Global wealth Report 2025', which is an increase of 5.8% from the year before. A good number of these newly created millionaire base in the UAE came about from re-locations, as has been the case for four years now. 'This year there has been some significant movement in the number of millionaires in many of parts of the world, both upwards and downwards,' according to the Swiss bank's findings. 'In 2024, Turkey stands out from the crowd thanks to an 8.4% increase in its number of dollar millionaires over 2023, equivalent to a boost of roughly 7,000 people in a single year. The UAE (had) a rise of 5.8% in millionaire numbers, thanks to approximately 13,000 new entrants in this category.' 'Having looked at long-term trends, we concluded that wealth is far from static.' In the UAE, that's been the case. Banking and property market sources talk about the multi-million dollar deals that have been shaping the UAE investment landscape. The property firm Knight Frank in a recent report points to the influx of Saudi, Indian, Chinese and UK high networth individuals committing sizable investments in the UAE. At some locations such as Jumeira Bay island, the deal sizes are getting bigger. There are an estimated 240,343 dollar-millionaires in the UAE with a combined $785 million. Saudi Arabia, according to UBS, has 339,029 dollar-millionaires, with a combined wealth holdings of $958.3 million. 'In an era marked by rapid economic shifts, increasing volatility and unprecedented market developments, understanding the trends and drivers of wealth creation is more crucial than ever,' said Robert Karofsky, co-President of UBS Global Wealth Management. In the UAE, around 62% of gross wealth is allocated to financial assets, and it's almost 58% in Saudi Arabia. Assets such as real estate as well as land make up about 48% of what the super-rich spend on in both the prime GCC markets. (Debt levels among these investors is close to 9% in the UAE and 'only 5.7% in Saudi Arabia, one of the lowest levels in our sample of 56 countries', according to UBS.) Niels Zilkens, Head Wealth Management Middle East at UBS Global Wealth Management, said: 'Saudi Arabia and the UAE are not only seeing rising millionaire numbers, but also meaningful gains in median wealth – especially in the UAE, where it rose over 23% since 2020. 'With a combined $122 billion in expected wealth transfers ahead, both markets are entering a pivotal phase of generational transition.'
