Lusaka, Zambia – January 21, 2026 – EV24.africa, Africa’s leading electric vehicle sourcing and delivery platform, and ZEMIA (Zambia Electric Mobility Initiative Association), a leading organization promoting electric mobility in Zambia, have announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the deployment of electric vehicles and sustainable mobility solutions across the country.
This partnership represents a major milestone for Zambia’s transition toward clean, affordable, and scalable electric transportation. By combining EV24.africa’s pan-African vehicle sourcing and delivery capabilities with ZEMIA’s local ecosystem leadership, policy engagement, and stakeholder coordination, the collaboration aims to make electric vehicles accessible to fleets, businesses, public institutions, and individual consumers across Zambia.
Building Zambia’s Electric Mobility Ecosystem
Zambia is emerging as a strategic market for electric mobility in Southern Africa, driven by rising fuel prices, increasing urbanization, and growing interest in sustainable transport solutions. The country also benefits from a relatively clean electricity mix, with hydropower representing a significant share of generation, making electrification of transport particularly impactful in reducing emissions.
However, limited access to electric vehicles, lack of structured supply chains, and ecosystem fragmentation have slowed market adoption.
The EV24.africa × ZEMIA partnership directly addresses these challenges by creating a structured, end-to-end electric mobility framework, from vehicle sourcing and importation to fleet deployment, ecosystem development, and policy engagement.
A Strategic Collaboration for End-to-End Electric Mobility
Through this partnership:
- EV24.africa will supply a broad range of electric vehicles through its global and pan-African sourcing network, including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, buses, and fleet solutions. EV24 will also support logistics, customs, and delivery across Zambia, offering a turnkey solution for corporate and institutional clients.
- ZEMIA will leverage its institutional role, policy advocacy, and local partnerships to support market awareness, stakeholder engagement, fleet adoption initiatives, and collaboration with regulators, utilities, and private sector players.
Together, the partners will target key sectors such as ride-hailing, logistics, corporate fleets, public sector institutions, and infrastructure developers seeking to reduce operating costs and carbon emissions while modernizing mobility systems.
Executive Perspectives
“Zambia is a key strategic market for EV24 in Southern Africa. Partnering with ZEMIA allows us to accelerate our market entry with a strong local institutional partner and deliver turnkey electric mobility solutions for fleets and consumers,” said Younes Rabeh, Business Development Manager at EV24.africa.
“This partnership with EV24.africa strengthens our mission to promote electric mobility and sustainable transport in Zambia. By combining EV24’s sourcing power with our ecosystem leadership, we aim to accelerate adoption and build a strong foundation for the country’s electric mobility future,” said Kabayo Muhau, President of the ZEMIA Association.
“Africa is entering a decisive decade for electric mobility, and Zambia is a key market in this transition. Through EV24, we are building the supply chains, partnerships, and operational frameworks needed to make electric vehicles accessible and affordable across the continent. This partnership with ZEMIA is a strategic step toward scaling electric mobility in Southern Africa and supporting Africa’s broader energy transition,” said Axel Peyriere, CEO and Co-Founder of AUTO24.africa and EV24.africa.
Driving Cost-Effective and Sustainable Transport
Electric vehicles offer significant savings in fuel and maintenance compared to internal combustion vehicles, making them highly attractive for African markets where fuel costs are volatile and operational efficiency is critical for businesses.
This partnership aims to help Zambian businesses and consumers reduce transport costs, improve energy resilience, and support national sustainability and climate objectives. It also opens opportunities for local value creation in charging infrastructure, fleet services, and digital mobility platforms.
By accelerating EV adoption, EV24.africa and ZEMIA seek to position Zambia as a regional leader in electric mobility in Southern Africa and a model for scalable electrification across the continent.
