Numerous African startups are teaming up with Chinese firms to bring in affordable, efficient and eco-friendly NEVs, which benefit ordinary people. For example, Nairobi drivers earn $10 a day on average. They would spend $6 on petrol but, by going electric, no more than $1.42. So their profits are up.
Chinas automobile exports jumped 30.5 per cent year-on-year in the first two months of 2024. Then, China exported 182,000 NEVs, up 7.5 per cent, underscoring its commitment to green technology and sustainable development. At the China Development Forum 2024, PM Li emphasised Chinas dedication to high-quality development, aiming at the recovery and stability of the world economy.
Africa is set to benefit from Chinas high-quality development under China-Africa cooperation. On January 7, Chinas state council approved a plan to build a pilot zone for in-depth economic and trade cooperation between China and Africa. This may open doors to burgeoning sectors like the digital economy, green development, public health, cultural exchanges and even artificial intelligence (AI).
Africas rich mineral resources, crucial for battery production, position it as a key player in the NEV market. With China providing the necessary technology and products, the continent is poised for a transformative leap towards sustainable transportation. That could take time but is promising.
