Chinese automaker Seres announced on Friday that its electric vehicle (EV) brand Aito has signed a strategic agreement with Performance Plus Motors, a dealer group based in Abu Dhabi, marking its first major push into the Middle East market.

Under the agreement, Performance Plus Motors—a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Motors—will take charge of sales, delivery, and after-sales service for Aito’s luxury intelligent EV models in the United Arab Emirates.

The company did not disclose a specific timeline for the rollout or market launch, leaving the exact launch date open-ended.

This partnership signals Aito’s broader ambitions to expand beyond China and compete in international markets where demand for premium electric vehicles continues to grow.
