This week, our team warmly welcomed a delegation from an Ethiopian automotive dealer to our factory in Chongqing. After 3 months of communication, the client visited our factory for a detailed inspection of our production lines, quality control processes, and the Ruichi EC75 models, we officially signed a dealer authorization agreement with the client. The cooperation focuses on the Ruichi EC75 electric cargo van, which will be promoted and sold by the Ethiopian dealer across major cities including Addis Ababa, catering to the local booming electric logistics market. As China's ONLY official exclusive exporter authorized by Ruichi, this successful cooperation with the Ethiopian dealer further proves our strength in vehicle supply, after-sales support and overseas dealer cooperation. Ethiopia has banned the import of petrol and diesel vehicles and is targeting 500,000 EVs by 2030, creating a huge market opportunity for Ruichi EC75 and our global dealers .
During the factory visit, the Ethiopian dealer team closely inspected our Ruichi EC75 production line, including the battery assembly workshop, vehicle testing process and quality inspection center. They also test-driven the Ruichi EC75 to experience its performance irsthand. The client highly praised the stable quality of the Ruichi EC75, especially its 310km CLTC range, 7.7m³ cargo space and low operating cost, which perfectly fits Ethiopia's market demand – 97% of Ethiopia's electricity comes from renewable hydropower, making EVs more cost-effective than diesel vehicles. Our team also introduced our strict quality control standards and after-sales support system to the client, which further strengthened their confidence in cooperating with us. The client stated that they chose us because of our official authorization, genuine vehicles and professional one-stop service.
According to the authorization agreement, the Ethiopian dealer will become the official authorized distributor of Ruichi EC75 in Ethiopia, responsible for local sales, after-sales service and market promotion. We will provide the dealer with a full range of support, including factory-direct pricing (zero middleman costs), genuine spare parts supply, technical training and marketing guidance. The Ruichi EC75 is specially adapted to Ethiopia's market needs – its compact size fits narrow urban streets in Addis Ababa, and its low charging cost (Ethiopia's electricity is less than 1 cent per kWh) helps dealers gain more market share. Both parties aim to expand the Ruichi EC75's market share in Ethiopia, taking advantage of the country's EV-friendly policies (15% import tariff for EVs vs 200% for petrol cars) .
