Pace Motors Thailand: A Leading EV Exporter to Tanzania
With Tanzania cutting EV import duties from 25% to 10% and pushing public institutions toward electric fleets, Pace Motors Thailand is positioned as a leading source for BYD and other Thailand-built electric vehicles heading to Dar es Salaam and beyond.
Tanzania's electric vehicle market is entering a genuine growth phase, and Pace Motors Thailand is proud to be a leading exporter of electric vehicles to the country. As a Bangkok-based export company, we source EVs directly from Thailand, Southeast Asia's largest vehicle production hub, and ship them to buyers and dealers across Tanzania, backed by favorable new import policies that make EV ownership more accessible than ever.
Why Now Is the Right Time to Import EVs to Tanzania
Tanzania's government has made electric mobility a national priority. In its 2026/27 budget, the government reduced import duties on electric vehicles from 25% down to 10%, exempted EV charging equipment from VAT, and directed public institutions to prioritize electric and gas-powered vehicles in their own procurement. Battery electric vehicles also continue to benefit from excise duty exemptions. Tanzania already had over 5,000 EVs on the road as of 2025, with that number projected to keep climbing through 2026 as these new incentives take effect.
For buyers and dealers, this combination of lower duties and rising demand creates a clear opportunity: sourcing genuine, well-specified EVs now, ahead of wider market adoption.
Why Source EVs from Thailand
Thailand is the largest vehicle producer in ASEAN and has rapidly become one of the region's key EV manufacturing hubs, with strong government incentives supporting local EV production and a fast-growing base of battery electric models built to right-hand drive specification, a natural fit for Tanzania's driving standard. Pace Motors Thailand sources across this market, including BYD and other established EV brands, giving Tanzanian buyers access to competitively equipped, genuinely new electric vehicles.
