[GAC Group Lands in Ethiopian Market, Plans to Launch 5 New Energy Car Models in Next Three Years]

On May 17, China's GAC Group introduced two new energy car models, AION Y and Trumpchi ES9, to the Ethiopian market for the first time, supporting Ethiopia's green transportation transformation and Sino-Ethiopian automotive industry cooperation. Balew Hassan, State Minister of the Ministry of Transport and Logistics of Ethiopia, stated that there are already over 100,000 EVs on the road in Ethiopia, and the government plans to increase this number to 500,000 within the next 10 years to replace the vast majority of internal combustion engine vehicles. Wei Haigang, General Manager of GAC International, said, "We are not only bringing products but are also committed to building a full value chain system of 'R&D-production-sales-service-infrastructure'. We plan to launch 5 new energy car models in the Ethiopian market over the next three years, injecting Chinese wisdom into the green transportation transformation of the African continent.
