We’re one of the first Chinese brands that produce cars in Europe.

To enhance our service quality, our Middle East spare parts warehouse opened in the UAE in December 2024—a testament to our commitment to exceptional service.”
He continued, “Today marks a significant milestone for the OMODA & JAECOO brand as we officially enter the vibrant Qatari market, and we are confident that we will provide Qatari consumers with outstanding automotive experiences. As an old Arab saying goes--We ride not by the luck of the sands, but by the wisdom of preparing camels. Now, OMODA & JAECOO is fully prepared!”
Ms. Ping Ding, Operations Manager of Silver Lake Motors, said, “The launch of OMODA & JAECOO in Qatar represents a pivotal step for Silver Lake Motors. Qatar is a key market with a discerning customer base that demands the highest standards in quality, innovation, and service.”
