HOWO & SHACMAN trucks for Ethiopia
Ethiopia drives on the right and has no sea port of its own: almost every truck lands at Djibouti and travels inland by road. Payment usually runs through an Ethiopian bank, so the import permit and foreign-currency approval should be settled before the truck is built.
