GREEN ALLIANCE

Jun 27 , 2026.

A handshake sealed in measured confidence sets the tone at the Adwa Memorial Museum, where Solomon Tadele, CEO of AM Business and Investment Group, and  Chang Shu, marketing director of Joylong Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd, formalise a partnership that points firmly toward an electric mobility future. Between them, signed documents signal the entry of Minibus EV vehicles and charging infrastructure into a market preparing for transformation. The moment carries the quiet weight of intent: one side bringing local market reach and investment ambition, the other offering manufacturing strength and technical depth. Framed against a corporate backdrop, the exchange reads as both ceremony and commitment, where mobility, energy transition, and industrial cooperation converge in a single gesture.
