The counter-case

The case against this reading — not reported by the source.

The announcement may reflect small pilot shipments rather than a scalable export business. Nepal and Tanzania are price-sensitive, infrastructure-constrained markets where fleet financing, battery service, spare-parts availability, local homologation and after-sales support can matter more than product launch timing. Confirmed West African orders may not translate into recurring deliveries, and competing low-cost Chinese and local assemblers could compress margins.
