AutoWallis expands their portfolio with electric brands

Geely in Austria

AutoWallis is further strengthening its portfolio with another leading brand after signing a distribution agreement for Austria with China’s Geely Auto. The agreement covers the Austrian distribution rights of the Geely brand this time. With this step, AutoWallis further expands the number of brands it represents and strengthens its cooperation with the world’s eighth largest vehicle manufacturer, while further diversifying its position in Central and Eastern Europe.

The Geely brand will enter the Austrian market in 2026 with two models and two types of powertrains: the E5, and the Starray EM-I models are a mid-range, elegant yet distinctive SUV. E5’s design has earned several prestigious international awards, including the Red Dot Award, the MUSE Design Award, the IDA Design Award, and the A’ Design Award. E5 has an outstanding drag coefficient of 0.269 and will be available with a 60.22 kWh battery pack, promising a WLTP range of 430 km, while the plug-in hybrid model with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine and 18.4 kWh battery has a total output of 217 hp and a range of approximately 940 km.

XPENG in Romania

AutoWallis, the leading integrated car dealer and mobility service provider in the CEE region, has reached a tripartite agreement with its Portuguese partner, the Salvador Caetano Group and the innovative, AI-focused Chinese car manufacturer XPENG to become the importer of XPENG in Romania. This agreement is built on the foundations of the already ongoing cooperation in three other CEE countries (Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia) in 2025 with the innovative, AI-focused Chinese car manufacturer. Sales in the fourth market is expected to start early this summer.

The brand is at the forefront of the new energy car revolution: the quality of their cars is competing with the world’s leading premium manufacturers, and its technological superiority is outstanding in areas such as artificial intelligence, ultra-fast charging or advanced autonomous driving.

Commenting on this recent milestone, Gábor Ormosy, CEO of AutoWallis highlighted, that “We are delighted that XPENG has entrusted AutoWallis and our partner Salvador Caetano with a fourth market, especially given that Romania is the second most populous country in Central Eastern Europe. Compared to the three markets where we already started operations in 2025, Romania represents an additional sales volume opportunity of around 60%.”
