Until nine years earlier, the public vehicle structure in Ethiopia was confined to minibusses and transports. In 2005, in any case, the three-wheeled auto-Rickshaw, routinely insinuated as Bajaj, hit on the scene, in Dire Dawa town, 515km from Addis Abeba.
All through the long haul, the vehicle has become continuously notable as an elective vehicle decision in significant regional towns, winding up an incredible competitor to the generally transcendent minibus and Lada taxis.
Bajaj Auto showed up in India as Bachraj Trading Co Ltd on November 29, 1945. The Company got a license to manufacture the two and three-wheeler motor vehicles locally in 1959. As of now, the association passes on its thing in 16 countries.
The Company sold more than 480,000 three-wheelers in the 2012-13 monetary year alone, as demonstrated by the Company.
Recently, in any case, the three-wheeled vehicles have begun entering Addis Abeba, developing from Akaki and Sebeta in Oromia on the edges of the city, to Ayat and other periphery areas overpowered by gharries or horse drawn carriages.
"The Bajaj came when they were for the most part required," audits Berhanu Hussein, 35, who has been driving the vehicle for quite a while.
Berhanu, when an exploration place master at Addis Abeba University (AAU), with remuneration of 1,500 Br, moved over to guaranteeing his own Bajaj to offer a taxi organization since he saw others "securing benefits". There are at present 26 drivers in his course which connects from Sidist Kilo to the space called Eyesus in the Gulele locale.
