This initiative, jointly led by the Maraboo and Kanao agencies, aims to bring together manufacturers, dealers, equipment suppliers, and transportation network operators to discuss the challenges of intermodality and modernizing the vehicle fleet. The business platform aims to accelerate public-private partnerships to reduce the average age of vehicles in circulation and structure the logistics ecosystem of the six CEMAC member countries.

The creation of a dedicated forum for commercial and industrial vehicles addresses urgent economic challenges. The importation of transportation equipment and spare parts absorbs several hundred billion FCFA annually in the national balance of payments. By establishing a direct consultation space between regulatory authorities, investors, and technology groups, the public authorities seek to promote local assembly and the progressive decarbonization of the urban fleet. The integration of connected mobility solutions aims to facilitate the maritime and terrestrial corridors connecting the port of Douala to the landlocked hinterland.

The emergence of an industrial gathering of this magnitude constitutes a lever to boost intra-African trade in transportation services. The creation of commercial synergies between regional transporters and global suppliers will facilitate the transfer of essential technologies for maintaining heavy vehicle fleets. The growth of the Cameroonian logistics market will serve as a catalyst for the growth of commercial exchanges throughout the sub-region.
