• China became Africa’s largest trading partner

surpassing the U.S in 2010.

• Bilateral trade involves export of minerals, oil and gas

and other related materials which are critical for

Chinese growth.

• With slowing EU and U.S. economies, China will

increasingly look to improve trade ties with Africa. With

current growth rates, China and Africa will merge as

the largest trading partners in the world by 2015.

• Dedicated funds such as CAF(China-Africa

Fund) have channelized Chinese FDI inflows

into African economies thereby making China

the largest foreign investor in Africa.

• Chinese government has signed infrastructure

development agreements with as many as 20

African nations.

Also the geopolitical situation are expected to improve in North Africa, especially in

Egypt, establishing this region as an assembly and logistics hub for Sub-Saharan

Africa. Egypt’s share of total CV sales to increase from 28 percent in 2012 to 39

percent by 2020.

North African commercial vehicle market is expected to be inclined towards heavy

duty trucks as they are expected to account for close to 29 percent of overall market

share by 2020 with Chinese manufacturers leading in terms of sales growth. By 2020

Chinese OEMs expected to account for nearly 24 percent of all light, medium, and

heavy trucks old in the region.

North Africa is poised for robust growth in the coming years which will directly impact

North African Light-Medium-Heavy duty truck and bus market. Sales are forecasted

to grow to 74,927 units by 2020. In these circumstances, global truck platforms

developed for BRIC markets will find relevance over the short-medium term.
