Ethiopia has temporarily banned the Chinese-made Volkswagen electric vehicle from entering Ethiopia.
The Ministry of Transport and Logistics has announced that, the Chinese-made Volkswagen electric vehicle has been temporarily banned from entering the country.
The German company informed the minister in a letter through the embassy that the Volkswagen electric vehicle which is imported from China and entering Ethiopia does not have a legal license.
As a result, the Volkswagen electric vehicle manufactured in China has been temporarily banned from entering the country until it has a legal license from the company.
The ministry stated that, the work of monitoring the vehicles entering the country and clearing the information of legality is being carried out with great care.
The Ministry’s information indicates that, the government is implementing various incentives for electric vehicles to be widely produced, assembled and imported into the country.
Ethiopia has recently approved a law encouraging the importation of electric vehicles with low taxes on the grounds that used vehicles are causing air pollution.
