• SAIC Motor: Chinese state-owned OEM and parent of MG and IM Motors, the two Chinese EV brands in Lubinsky's portfolio. Relevant as the supply-side incumbent behind the EV products driving Lubinsky's market share gains in Israel.

• Champion Motors: Exclusive Israeli importer of the Volkswagen Group brands (VW, Audi, Seat, Škoda, Porsche). Closely comparable as a long-established multi-brand passenger vehicle distributor serving the same Israeli customer base with similar showroom, service, and parts infrastructure.
• Shlomo Group: Israel's largest multi-brand vehicle importer and mobility group, distributing Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi, and smart, with parallel car rental and financing businesses.
