Why Ethiopia, Why Now
Ethiopia banned ICE vehicle imports in 2024 — the only African market where electric is not an option but the law. Fenghan Trading — authorized Dongfeng new-energy exporter based in Xi'an, China — configures each truck for Ethiopia: battery size, charging standard, climate package and (LHD) drive.
