Cenntro signs partnership to assemble EVs in Morocco for North Africa

CASABLANCA - Electric commercial vehicle maker Cenntro Inc. (NASDAQ:CENN), a small-cap company with a market value of approximately $20 million, has entered into a strategic partnership with Moroccan firm Electricove Maroc to assemble electric vehicles in Morocco for distribution in local and Northern African markets, according to a company press release. The company has shown impressive revenue growth of 234% in the last twelve months, according to InvestingPro data.

Under the agreement, Cenntro will supply vehicle assembly kits to Electricove, which will establish a local assembly plant for Cenntro EV models, including the Teemak and LS450. The U.S.-based manufacturer will also provide technical documentation, assembly training, and engineering support to help Electricove develop local assembly capabilities.

Electricove has been a distribution partner for Cenntro for several years before this expanded arrangement. The company has indicated that the initiative has received endorsement from government authorities and business organizations within Morocco.

"Cenntro’s collaboration with Electricove Maroc builds on a longstanding relationship with Electricove and represents a significant step in supporting EV deployment in the region," said Peter Wang, Chairman and CEO of Cenntro.

Cenntro, headquartered in Freehold, New Jersey, designs and manufactures electric commercial vehicles for various applications, including class 1 to class 4 trucks. The company is listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange.

The partnership aims to strengthen Cenntro’s presence in the North African market while allowing for localized production of its electric commercial vehicles.
