The European Commission has prepared a set of new regulations for the transport sector, called the 'Roadworthiness Package.' The proposed regulations include strengthening the monitoring of exhaust systems. The EU aims to remotely measure truck noise and nitrogen oxide emissions through roadside sensors, allowing for the identification of vehicles that do not comply with emission regulations, such as those with modified straight-through exhausts or blocked urea systems.
As early as on the roads of Denmark, similar special monitoring vehicles could be seen. These vehicles have exhaust composition sensors installed on their bumpers, and by driving alongside heavy trucks during detection, they can collect exhaust and check for compliance. However, this mobile measurement method is still relatively dangerous, and unmanned roadside fixed sensors are a safer and more efficient solution in comparison.

Indian automaker EKA Mobility, which specializes in electric buses, utility tricycles, and commercial vehicles, is considering establishing an assembly plant in Ghana, according to local media reports. The project was discussed during a meeting between company officials and Ghana’s Deputy Minister of Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, Sampson Ahi.
The initiative will be developed in partnership with Japan’s Mitsui Corporation and local distributor Rana Motors. It will focus on assembling electric tricycles, buses, and commercial vehicles for both domestic use and export to West Africa. If implemented, the project would strengthen Ghana’s position as a regional automotive hub. Along with Nigeria, Ghana already hosts most of the assembly operations in the region, driven by partnerships with international manufacturers such as Toyota, Nissan, and Kia.
Local players are also emerging, as the government promotes domestic brands through its Automotive Development Policy launched in 2017 to attract investment in local assembly and reduce reliance on imports. However, Ghana’s automotive industrialization faces structural challenges. Local component integration remains limited due to an underdeveloped supply base capable of consistently providing parts and materials to assemblers.
This constraint reduces potential job creation and skill transfer benefits. Locally assembled vehicles also struggle to gain market traction, often perceived as lower in quality and more expensive than imported used cars, which still dominate sales.
According to a report by Mordor Intelligence, Ghana imports about 100,000 vehicles annually, mainly secondhand cars from the United States, Europe, and the Middle East.

Against the backdrop of the accelerated transformation of the global automotive industry, China's special-purpose vehicles are becoming a new force in going global. Faced with slowed domestic market growth and the release of demand in emerging overseas markets, an increasing number of special-purpose vehicle companies are speeding up their internationalization efforts, actively integrating into the global industry and value chains.Data shows that in 2024, China's exports of special-purpose vehicles reached 52,100 units, with an export value of 3.861 billion US dollars, representing year-on-year increases of 44.6% and 28.7%, respectively. The Chebai Think Tank report "Redefining Special-Purpose Vehicles: Building a High-Value, High-Growth, High-Technology 'Commercial Vehicle' Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") points out that the international development of special-purpose vehicles is moving towards high technological barriers and localization.
To break through market growth bottlenecks, many specialized vehicle companies are accelerating their layout in overseas markets, seeking additional development space. In 2024, China's exports of specialized vehicles reached 52,100 units, with an export value of 3.861 billion USD, representing year-on-year increases of 44.6% and 28.7%, respectively. It is expected that by 2030, China's overseas production and sales of complete vehicles could surpass 10 million units, with new energy and intelligent products becoming the core driving forces for expansion. Specialized vehicle companies need to seize this opportunity, focus on building a global supply chain system, achieve a leap from 'products going out' to 'global standard chains,' and promote comprehensive, system-wide connections between Chinese specialized vehicles and the world.
The export footprint continues to expand, showing a development trend of 'wide market coverage, strong emerging markets, and diverse potential regions.'In 2024, the destinations for China's specialized vehicle exports have expanded to 193 countries and regions, with considerable export potential. Among them, emerging markets such as Russia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America have performed particularly well.In 2024, Russia ranked first with an export volume of 6,781 units, a year-on-year increase of 33.94%, and an export value of 651 million USD, a year-on-year increase of 8.68%. Developing countries such as Southeast Asia, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and South America are rapidly developing in the field of infrastructure construction, leading to a significant increase in demand for specialized vehicles, demonstrating strong market potential. Israel has huge potential in the new energy specialized vehicle market. Although the European market sets technical barriers, after certification, product exports can achieve significant premium opportunities.
