Chinese automaker XPeng has signed a distribution agreement to enter Oman, adding a fourth Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) market as its overseas push accelerates.
Mohsin Automobiles will build a sales and after-sales network for XPeng in Oman, including dedicated showrooms and servicing.
XPeng’s Managing Director and General Manager of the Middle East, Africa and Caucasia, Ken Wang announced the deal on LinkedIn on Monday.
“We will bring our advanced technology, and new-energy vehicles, new generation of smart and sustainable mobility to Oman,” Wang wrote, adding the partnership will strengthen the brand’s presence across the GCC region.
Details of the showroom, line-up, launch schedule and customer services “will be announced shortly,” the statement said.
Mohsin Haider Darwish Automobiles LLC is Oman’s official Stellantis distributor, representing Jeep, Dodge, RAM, Alfa Romeo and Mopar as a division of the MHD ACERE cluster, according to its website.
When the group added the Stellantis brands in 2023, its portfolio already included MG, Jaguar, Land Rover, INEOS, Hongqi and McLaren. It also distributes Chery’s Jetour brand.
Oman’s EV Market
Oman’s EV segment grew by 76.3% in 2025. The country signed a $250 million (96.2 million rials) agreement in May with South Korea’s EL B&T for an electric vehicle and battery cell plant in the Duqm special economic zone.
Oman’s Ministry of Energy and Minerals said on X on September 9 that “more than 11,000 electric and hybrid vehicles” are now registered in the country, as it targets net zero by 2050.
Registered fully electric vehicles passed 5,900 in the first half of the year, Muscat Daily reported, citing the transport ministry.
Total registered vehicles reached 1,865,499 at the end of February 2026, according to the National Centre for Statistics and Information.
Policy support targets purchase costs.
Fully electric vehicles in Oman are exempt from VAT, customs duty and registration fees, under rules announced in 2023, while combustion vehicles carry the standard 5% VAT.
Public charging fees take effect on October 1, at 50 to 120 baisa ($0.13 to $0.31) per kWh depending on charger power.
A national transport decarbonisation road map targets a 25% EV share of new registrations by 2030, 66% by 2040 and 100% of new light vehicles by 2050, Transport Minister Said bin Hamoud al Maawali said in January.
Hybrids still dominate electrified sales.
XPeng has not said whether range-extended models or only fully electric vehicles will be offered in Oman.
UAE, Qatar and Bahrain
Oman becomes XPeng’s fourth GCC market.
XPeng entered the United Arab Emirates in October 2024, launching the G6 and G9 in Dubai with Ali & Sons Holding through its GSM subsidiary.
In Qatar, XPeng designated Pioneer Motors, an Almana Group subsidiary, as its exclusive distributor in September 2024.
A brand launch in Doha followed in December 2025 with the G9 and G6, with the P7+ announced for a later date.
In Bahrain, distributor Green Mobility launched the X9, G9, G6 and P7+ on July 7.
XPeng signed Ebrahim K. Kanoo, Bahrain’s largest automotive distributor group, in April 2025, saying at the time it planned to cover all six GCC countries that year.
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have no publicly announced XPeng distributor.
XPeng opened a regional spare-parts warehouse in Dubai with JD Logistics in October 2025.
Overseas Push
Oman extends an overseas push that has become XPeng’s main growth driver.
XPeng delivered 45,008 vehicles outside China in 2025, up 96% and about 10.5% of its 429,445 global deliveries, the company said in January.
For 2026, XPeng aims to double overseas deliveries, raise the overseas share of revenue above 20% and double its sales and service network to 680 stores.
XPeng exported 8,125 vehicles and kits in August, up 169.2% from a year earlier, according to China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) data.
Exports reached 31,599 in the first half and a record 9,700 in July, bringing the total through August to about 49,400.
Overseas shipments made up 25.5% of total wholesale deliveries in July, the highest ratio in company history, up from 19.0% across the first half.
International business contributed more than a quarter of first-half revenue, Founder and Chief Executive Officer He Xiaopeng said in August.
XPeng targets 550,000 to 600,000 deliveries in 2026.
The company’s long-term goal is for overseas markets to contribute half of its global sales within the next 10 years.
