Jetour T2 i-DM: Driving Qatar Into a Hybrid Future
Whether you're a family wanting extra space and comfort for everyday life or someone looking for a car that's ready when you need a break from the city, Jetour's lineup gives you more than just a way to get around — it's about making every drive feel easier, more enjoyable, and more confident.
And now, with hybrid models like the T2 i-DM, Jetour Qatar is moving forward with purpose, bringing eco-friendly technology to local drivers who want the perfect balance between performance and everyday practicality. To see why that matters, let's take a closer look at what hybrid technology brings to daily life on the road. The Bigger Picture: Why Hybrid Technology Matters
Hybrid cars aren't just some flashy new invention or a passing trend — they're quietly changing how we approach everyday driving. By combining electric power with a petrol engine, they offer the best of both worlds: smooth, quiet drives for your daily routine and reliable petrol performance when you're heading out on longer journeys or tackling more demanding roads.
In Qatar, this mix really pays off. Electric mode is perfect for short city trips, like commuting to work or school, while the petrol engine gives you the freedom to head out of town for the weekend without worrying about range or finding a charging point.
Just as importantly, hybrids help you use less fuel and cut down on emissions, making it easier to choose a more eco-friendly way of driving, without sacrificing the comfort or flexibility you're used to. As more people in Qatar start paying attention to sustainability and smarter driving choices, hybrids are a practical, everyday solution — not just for the future, but for right now. What Makes the Jetour T2 i-DM Special
So, what makes the Jetour T2 i-DM stand out? As the flagship hybrid in Jetour's lineup, it is more than just another SUV; it is designed to handle everything from daily commutes to exciting new experiences.
The T2 i-DM can travel up to 139 kilometers on electricity alone when its battery is fully charged. That's plenty for most daily drives in and around Doha, letting you skip the petrol pump completely. Of course, your actual range will vary depending on how you drive, the road, and whether the A/C is blasting, but the ability to recharge at home or public stations gives you great flexibility.
If you're planning a longer journey, the T2 i-DM has you covered, offering over 1,000 km of combined electric and petrol range. Whether you're driving to Al Khor, heading to the Inland Sea, or exploring Qatar's countryside, you can relax and enjoy the road without worrying about frequent fuel stops.
Fuel efficiency is where this hybrid really shines. With a rating of just 0.8L per 100 km (NEDC), it's among the most economical SUVs in its category, helping you cut back on fuel costs while also lowering your environmental impact.
But it's not just about numbers. Jetour has built the T2 i-DM to handle Qatar's tough climate and terrain. The battery system is heat-resistant, waterproof, and tough enough for water crossings up to 70 cm deep. Whether you're sticking to city streets or heading off-road, this SUV is ready.
Inside the car, you'll find a spacious, comfortable cabin that's designed for both families and adventure seekers. Handy features like parking air conditioning (which keeps the cabin cool while the car is parked) and a 3.3 kW vehicle-to-load system mean you can power up camping gear, lights, or even small appliances when you're out and about. It's a car that fits your lifestyle — whether you're in the middle of the city or out under the desert stars.
But here's the truth: no words can replace the feeling of sitting behind the wheel yourself. Book a test drive with Jetour Qatar and experience firsthand how the T2 i-DM combines comfort, smart technology, and driving confidence.

Trump Tariffs Leave Costly China Supply Question Unanswered
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump's recent flurry of trade deals have given Asian exporters some clarity on tariffs, but missing are key details on how to avoid punitive rates that target China's supply chains. Trump Awards $1.26 Billion Contract to Build Biggest Immigrant Detention Center in US The High Costs of Trump's 'Big Beautiful' New Car Loan Deduction Can This Bridge Ease the Troubled US-Canadian Relationship? Salt Lake City Turns Winter Olympic Bid Into Statewide Bond Boom Trump Administration Sues NYC Over Sanctuary City Policy Trump unveiled tariffs of 20% for Vietnam and 19% for Indonesia and the Philippines, signaling those are the levels the US will likely settle on for most of Southeast Asia, a region that ships $352 billion worth of goods annually to the US. He's also threatened to rocket rates up to 40% for products deemed to be transshipped, or re-routed, through those countries — a move largely directed at curbing Chinese goods circumventing higher US tariffs. But still unclear to manufacturers is how the US will calculate and apply local-content requirements, key to how it will determine what constitutes transshipped goods. Southeast Asian nations are highly reliant on Chinese components and raw materials, and US firms that source from the region would bear the extra tariff damage. That's left companies, investors and economists facing several unanswered questions about Trump's tariffs that appear aimed at squeezing out Chinese content, according to Deborah Elms, head of trade policy at the Hinrich Foundation in Singapore. 'Is that raw materials? All raw materials? Above a certain percentage?' she said. 'How about parts? What about labor or services? What about investment?' In an agreement with Indonesia last week, the White House said the two countries would negotiate 'rules of origin' to ensure a third country wouldn't benefit. The deal with Vietnam earlier this month outlined a higher 40% tariff rate for transshipped goods. And Thai officials, who have yet to secure a deal, detailed that they likely need to boost local content in exports to the US. Missing Details The Trump administration isn't providing much clarity on the matter right now. US officials are still working out details with trading partners and looking at value-based local content requirements, to ensure exports are more than just assembled imported parts, according to a person familiar with the matter, who didn't want to be identified discussing private talks. A senior Trump administration official also said this week that details on the approach to transshipment are expected to be released before Aug. 1, the deadline for when higher US tariffs kick in. Some factories are already adjusting their supply chains to comply with rules that will require more locally-made components in production. Frank Deng, an executive at a Shanghai-based furniture exporter with operations in Vietnam — and which gets about 80% of business from the US — said in an interview his firm is making adjustments as authorities appear to be more strictly enforcing country-of-origin rules. Vietnam has always had specific local content requirements for manufacturers, Deng added, including that a maximum of 30% of the volume of raw materials originates from China, and the value after production in Vietnam must be 40% higher than the imported raw materials. 'We've been struggling to meet all the standards so that we can still stay in the game,' Deng said. 'But I guess that's the only way to survive now.' For most of Southeast Asia, reducing the amount of Chinese-made components in manufacturing will require a complete overhaul of their supply chains. Estimates from Eurasia Group show that Chinese components make up about 60% to 70% of exports from Southeast Asia — primarily industrial inputs that go into manufacturing assembly. About 15% of the region's exports now head to the US, up about four percentage points from 2018. Local Content The US has become increasingly vigilant about China's ability to bypass US trade tariffs and other restrictions through third countries since Trump's first trade war in 2017. Thailand signaled its frustration over the lack of clarity for how much local content is needed in goods exported to the US to avert transshipment rates, but noted it will likely be much higher than a traditional measure of 40%. 'From what we've heard, the required percentage could be significantly higher, perhaps 60%, 70%, or even 80%,' Deputy Prime Minister Pichai Chunhavajira said July 14. 'Emerging countries or new production bases are clearly at a disadvantage,' he said, as their manufacturing capabilities are still at an early stage and must rely on other countries for raw goods. Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia have all taken steps this year to address Trump's concerns, increasing scrutiny of trade that passes through their ports including new rule-of-origin policies that centralize processing and imposing harsh penalties on transshippers. Developing nations may still struggle to enforce Trump's rules or comply with the rules if it means going up against China, their largest trading partner and geopolitical partner. 'The reality is it's not enforceable at all,' said Dan Wang, China director at Eurasia Group. 'Chinese companies have all kinds of ways to get around it and those other countries have no incentive to enforce those measures, or capacity to collect the data and determine local content.' --With assistance from Patpicha Tanakasempipat, Skylar Woodhouse and Nguyen Dieu Tu Uyen.

I Asked ChatGTP What Trump's China Deal Means for the Middle Class — Here's What It Said
Rapidly shifting pieces have been synonymous with President Trump's trade policy — China included, according to AP News. Chinese producers sell more than $400 billion worth of goods in the U.S. annually, per Reuters. In order to help orient ourselves within all the changes right now, here's what ChatGTP said President Trump's latest deal with China means for middle-class finances. Check Out: For You: Tariff Reductions Are Partial, Short-Term Relief Tariffs aren't gone, but middle-class households face partial relief because of tariff reductions. A deal slashed U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%, according to Time Magazine. However, an average American family would still face a net hike of $2,300 to $2,800 a year in additional tariff-related costs. Trending Now: Consumer Prices Are Still Elevated Consumers continue to pay higher for everyday items, including electronics, clothing and appliances due to residual tariff burdens. Tariffs work like regressive taxes with those in the middle-class paying a larger share of income, per Bloomberg. Inflation and Reduced Purchasing Power Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases tied to tariffs could hit 1.3% to 2.3%, depending on whether all planned tariffs take effect, per Barron's. This is equivalent to a loss of $1,900 to $3,800 in real purchasing power per household annually. Uncertainty Hinders Business and Hiring Amidst pronounced uncertainty, businesses and consumers alike may be less inclined to make big changes or commitment. 'The stop-start nature of tariff implementation slows corporate investment, especially in manufacturing — limiting job growth and wage pressure. Consumer confidence can waver amid this uncertainty,' ChatGPT said. Risk of Retaliation and Spillover Any potential repercussions don't end just because tariffs end. Chinese retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports could hit middle-class related industries, including autos, agriculture and manufacturing, leading to layoffs or price hikes. 'Ongoing tit-for-tat risks mean future prices and employment could shift again,' ChatGPT explained. So, What Are Your Next Moves? ChatGPT had four suggestions for what to do right now: Budget for inflation in your essential expenses, including groceries, clothes and electronics. Lock in rates for mortgage and loans sooner rather than later as uncertainty may affect financial markets. Track CPI and Fed signals. These reflect tariff-driven inflation trends. Diversify income streams to guard against local job or wage hits.

China releases AI action plan days after the U.S. as global tech race heats up
SHANGHAI — The tech race between the world's two largest economies just intensified. China on Saturday released a global action plan for artificial intelligence, calling for international cooperation on tech development and regulation. The news came as the annual state-organized World Artificial Intelligence Conference kicked off in Shanghai with an opening speech by Premier Li Qiang, who announced that the Chinese government has proposed the establishment of a global AI cooperation organization, according to an official readout. Days earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump announced an American action plan for AI that included calls to reduce alleged "woke" bias in AI models and support the deployment of U.S. tech overseas. "The two camps are now being formed," said George Chen, partner at the Asia Group and co-chair of the digital practice. "China clearly wants to stick to the multilateral approach while the U.S. wants to build its own camp, very much targeting the rise of China in the field of AI," Chen said. He noted how China may attract participants from its Belt and Road Initiative, while the U.S. will likely have the support of its allies, such as Japan and Australia. In his speech, Premier Li emphasized China's "AI plus" plan for integrating the tech across industries and said the country was willing to help other nations with the technology, especially in the Global South. The category loosely refers to less developed economies, especially countries outside the U.S. and European orbits. Since 2022, the U.S. has sought to restrict China's access to advanced semiconductors for training AI models. Earlier this month, U.S. chipmaker Nvidia said the U.S. was allowing it to resume shipments of a less advanced H20 chip to China after a roughly three-month pause. However, China has been developing homegrown alternatives, which Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang both praised and described as "formidable" during his third trip to China this month. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt met with Shanghai Party Secretary Chen Jining on Thursday in the city ahead of the AI conference, according to a city announcement. Schmidt did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment.
