The automotive logistics market in Africa is booming, driven by a growing demand for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and industrial vehicles. The continent imports more and more varied brands, mainly from Asia and Europe. The emergence of a middle class, the development of mining and infrastructure projects, the rise of local production and regulatory restrictions on import of second-hand vehicles are transforming the sector. Added to this, the expected rise of the electric vehicle, is an exciting future logistics prospect for Africa.
