Representative of the automobile sector at the Jordan Free Zone Investor

Abu Nasser said that there is a significant decline
in demand for fuel-powered cars and hybrid vehicles due to their inflated
prices; he also said that Chinese vehicles have the highest licensing fees,
followed by vehicles imported from South Korea.
Abu Nasser claimed that the absence of hybrid
vehicles in global markets, and the increase in customs fees caused the price
of fuel-powered cars to increase, which in turn contributed to higher demand
for the electric-powered cars. According to Abu Nasser, with electric vehicles
citizens spend 80 percent less than with fuel-powered ones.
Abu Nasser said that auto spare parts for EVs
imported from all countries are available and that there are specialized
centers for examining EVs and repairing them using computerized technology.
