manufacturing industrial base, like Australia did, should the transition to new energy vehicles be mismanaged.last Thursday that government plans to support the automotive industry’s transition to electric vehicles, both at the manufacturing level and for consumers in the form of tax rebates or subsidies.

Every vehicle in Australia today is imported, even though they once had a fantastic manufacturing base in that country,” said Mabasa. “South Africa cannot afford to go that route because we employ more than 500 000 people, who are dependent on this industry.”
