Ethiopia plans to import 5,000 modern, Russian-made Kamaz trucks to modernize its transport sector and support regional integration, according to the Ethiopian Transport Employers Federation.The trucks are well-suited for the Ethiopian landscape, Federation President Berhane Zeru told Sputnik Africa, noting that the trucks have efficient, low-emission Euro 5 engines and will enable Ethiopia to use ports requiring higher standards. Zeru noted that Ethiopia's BRICS membership has created business opportunities, and the country plans to collaborate with Russia and other BRICS members in line with its Digital 2025 strategy. Bazra Motor's manager, Yayehyirad Asnake, who imports the vehicles to Ethiopia, told Sputnik Africa that the trucks will begin arriving in Ethiopia in the first half of 2025, marking the first phase of the agreement. Subsequent phases will introduce public transport vehicles.
