Ethiopia has updated its regulations to strengthen its ban on importing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by now including semi-knocked down (SKD) and completely knocked down (CKD) kits. This move aims to promote cleaner transportation options and accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles within the country. The new policy reflects Ethiopia's commitment to clean energy and sustainable development. By restricting the import of vehicle kits, the country is encouraging local assembly of electric vehicles and reducing reliance on fossil fuels, aligning with its broader clean energy goals.
