China leads the world in new energy vehicles, power batteries, intelligent cabins, on-board software, industrial chain completeness and manufacturing cost economics, attracting the attention of African countries and regions, and introducing Chinese technologies and products.
At present, many African countries have introduced policies to support domestic green transformation and actively built relevant infrastructure, creating conditions for the popularization of new energy vehicles. For example, the Egyptian government has implemented "zero tariffs" on electric vehicles to promote sales of related products.
At the same time, Chinese enterprises have brought advanced production technology and management experience to Africa to help local enterprises upgrade their technology level and establish localized production capacity. It's like an "electric mobility revolution!" The American media used such expressions when reporting on the deep cultivation of Chinese electric vehicles in the African market.
Data show that in 2023, China's exports of new energy vehicles and lithium batteries to Africa increased by 291% and 109% respectively. "As a green and efficient mode of transport, the new energy bus will bring new changes to the public transport industry in Africa." Zhu Wenran, regional manager of Yutong Bus Africa, said that in the future, he hopes that African countries will strengthen their support in policy incentives, infrastructure construction and personnel training.
As the world's leading bus brand, Yutong has entered the African market since 2004 under the drive of national policies, as an active participant in China-Africa cooperation, over the past two decades, not only witnessed the seismic changes in the African transportation system, but also effectively improved the quality of African people's travel with products and services, opening a new picture of Chinese brands "going to sea".
