The deal, which marks a significant step in the region's transition to cleaner transportation, will see the duo supply EVs to Bolt's South African fleet, aiming to reduce the country's reliance on fossil fuels. With Bolt's existing presence in the market and Dongfeng's expertise in EV manufacturing, this partnership is poised to make a substantial impact on the country's transportation landscape.
