TUNIS, March 23 (Xinhua) -- The Tunisian company Sotudis, a subsidiary of the automobile Zouari Group, announced the start of the commercialization of the Chinese automaker Geely "model GC6" cars in Tunisia on Saturday.

The "model GC6" is the first private vehicle assembled in Tunisia in factories in Sousse, a seaside province, said Fares Zouari, director of the group at a press briefing.

According to Zouari, the Geely GC6 is a model that meets the expectations of Tunisian family, at a competitive price of around 14,238 U.S. dollars.

He confirmed that other models of the Chinese brand will be introduced soon in the Tunisian automobile market.

"The partnership with Geely began in 2017, and we started the installation with pure Tunisian skills," said Zouari, adding that it is a unique project in the field of assembly of the Geely private cars in Tunisia.
