Why electric

The right drive for Ethiopia — right now.

Powered by Ethiopian energy

Electric buses run on locally generated renewable electricity instead of imported fuel — predictable costs in Birr, not in dollars.

Lower running costs

No fuel bills — and electric drivetrains have far fewer moving parts: less maintenance, no engine oil. More uptime for your fleet.

Assembled in Bishoftu

GOBEZ buses are assembled in our own plant in Bishoftu — creating local jobs, local skills and service close to your operation.

Proven technology

LFP batteries and drivetrains from established suppliers who have exported to markets like Nepal, the Philippines, Nigeria and Uganda for over 20 years.

Service & after-sales

Service that stays close.

A bus earns money only when it is on the road. GOBEZ delivers every fleet with after-sales service, genuine parts and training — from our workshop in Bishoftu and on site at your depot.

Maintenance & repair

Scheduled maintenance and repairs in our Bishoftu workshop — and with mobile teams on site at your depot, anywhere in Ethiopia.

Genuine parts

Wear and spare parts for all GOBEZ models, including batteries and drivetrain components, stocked locally.

Training

Every fleet delivery includes training for your drivers and technicians — safe driving, efficient charging, first-level maintenance.

Battery confidence

LFP batteries with long manufacturer warranties — model-dependent up to 8 years. Details in your quotation.

Our story

From diesel pioneer to electric manufacturer.

GOBEZ started as a supplier of diesel buses. When Ethiopia banned the import of combustion buses in 2025, we rebuilt our portfolio around electric drives within months — and turned the change into our strength.
