This collaborative endeavor aims to strengthen trade relations in the field of new energy vehicles between China and Kenya. It seeks to foster the sales of Dongfeng Nissan's Venucia-branded new energy vehicles in Kenya through cooperation and exchanges between the two parties, thereby promoting the high-quality development of Kenya's new energy vehicle industry. This partnership also contributes significantly to advancing the "Belt and Road" initiative.

As data reveals, Kenya, being East Africa's largest automotive market, possesses abundant renewable energy sources such as geothermal, wind, hydro, and solar energy. This makes Kenya an ideal environment for the substantial growth of new energy vehicles.
