Burkina Faso launched ITAOUA, its first locally made electric vehicle (EV). This move marks a significant step in Burkina Faso’s efforts to join Africa’s electric vehicle market, emphasizing clean energy adoption and strengthening its automotive industry.

Manufactured in Ouaga 2000, a major district in the capital city, the ITAOUA EV is designed to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly vehicles in Africa. With a 330-kilometer range on a single charge and a full recharge time of just 30 minutes, the vehicle offers an efficient transportation solution for energy-conscious consumers.

Burkina Faso’s ITAOUA stands out as a fully electric and solar-powered vehicle, offering a green alternative to traditional fuel-powered cars. The vehicle’s design and production are entirely handled by Burkinabe engineers, demonstrating the country’s commitment to technological innovation and self-reliance.

The car manufacturer stated that the country “has just proven that innovation is not the preserve of great powers, but that it can also germinate, grow, and radiate from the heart of Sahel in Africa.” This statement underscores Burkina Faso’s aspiration to establish itself as a technological hub in Africa.

The launch of ITAOUA comes as Africa’s electric vehicle market continues to grow. According to Mordor Intelligence, the market is projected to be worth $15.8 billion by 2024 and $25.4 billion by 2029. While global giants such as China, Europe, and the United States dominate the market, African countries increasingly join the movement, with more nations investing in local EV manufacturing and infrastructure.

Burkina Faso’s entry into the electric vehicle sector also reflects a broader trend across the continent. Countries such as Botswana, South Africa, and Kenya are making strides in EV adoption and production.

The ITAOUA launch is expected to create jobs, stimulate technological innovation, and support Africa’s transition to sustainable transportation.
