Ethiopia Updates ICE Vehicle Import Ban To Include Imports of SKD & CKD Kits
23 Jun 2025 | Abstracted from CleanTechnica
"...ban was not some futuristic target for 2030 or 2035. It was an immediate ban on the import of ICE cars. Ethiopia's motivation? A high fossil fuel import bill of over US$5 billion a year...Energy security and self-sufficiency were other major drivers.
"...the government feels there is no more need to continue to support the local assembly of ICE vehicles. Several reports state that there are now tens of thousands of electric cars in Ethiopia."
