South Africa,Martine Biene

Volkswagen and Isuzu have expressed scepticism about South Africa’s plans to develop an EV industry.

Isuzu Motors have expressed scepticism about South Africa’s plans to develop electric and hydrogen-powered vehicle industries.

The country’s automotive industry, which accounted for more than R271-billion in exports last year, is currently dependent on shipments to the EU, where legislation is expected gradually to reduce demand for vehicles that run on diesel and petrol.

South Africa has also done little to develop a domestic market for the vehicles, the executives said.
