⚡Hats off to Roam for its record-breaking achievement – demonstrating the potential of the Roam Air on a 6,000 km on a solar-powered journey across Africa, from Nairobi to Stellenbosch, South Africa. 👏 The electric mobility company is showing what is possible for sustainable transport solutions in Africa. Beginning with Kenya, Roam set out to electrifying the country's ubiquitous petrol-fuelled motorbike taxis, known as "boda-bodas" as part of its mission to electrify Africa’s transport sector, one vehicle at a time. PREO is proud to have supported ROAM on a previous pilot project, employing a fleet of electric boda-bodas to improve driver incomes, reduce environmental impact, and create green jobs, all while supporting Kenya's transition to zero-emission vehicles. It's inspiring to see Roam's continued success and commitment to transforming Africa's transport sector.

MOGO Kenya secured a Ksh1 billion investment from the United States International Development Corporation to boost electric vehicle adoption in Kenya. According to Rauls L., the EV Financing Manager at Mogo shared plans to utilize a major part of the investment to offer lower interest rates and reduced down payments for electric vehicles and bikes, compared to fuel-powered alternatives. This investment is expected to contribute to the rapid growth of Kenya's e-mobility industry, which has been driven by increasing environmental awareness and the need for cost-effective transportation solutions. The focus on electric motorcycles, tuk-tuks, and other small vehicles, supported by innovative battery-swapping models, is set to accelerate with this new influx of funding, addressing one of the key barriers to adoption: upfront costs.

The U.S. and MOGO Kenya, an asset financier, have entered into a significant partnership to accelerate electric mobility in Kenya. U.S. Ambassador to Kenya, Meg Whitman, commended Kenya’s advancements in decarbonizing its transport sector during her visit to Mogo’s electric vehicle (EV) showroom in Nairobi. This collaboration is part of a broader $30 million financing initiative from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), aimed at boosting the adoption of zero-emission vehicles. Mogo, which has already invested Sh3 billion into expanding its EV financing portfolio, focuses on e-bikes and three-wheelers. This investment not only supports green mobility initiatives but also aligns with Kenya’s climate action strategies, including the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) and the Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy (LT-LEDS). By providing affordable financing options, Mogo contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and modernizing Kenya’s transport system. Ambassador Whitman highlighted that electric vehicles and motorcycles offer multiple benefits, including job creation and reduced dependence on fossil fuels. Electric motorcycles, in particular, have proven economically advantageous for boda boda riders, who earn more daily compared to those using traditional fuel-powered bikes. This is attributed to lower fuel and maintenance costs combined with lower interest rates. The Kenyan government’s goal is to have at least 5 percent of all registered vehicles be electric by 2025, with a focus on acquiring 200,000 electric motorcycles by the end of 2024. This initiative reflects a commitment to reducing emissions and supporting Kenya’s growing micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). The transition to electric mobility is expected to significantly impact Kenya’s climate goals and offer substantial economic benefits. #ElectricMobility #GreenTransport #ClimateAction #Kenya #SustainableDevelopment #EVMobility To read more: https://zurl.co/Zhfm

Rwanda's transport system is dominated by ICE motos, making up 68% of the total stock, with moto-taxis forming over 50% of this moto stock. Currently, Kigali is home to around 2,800 e-motos (out of 30,000 motos), most equipped with battery-swapping technology. 🚖🔋 Government policy has been the key driver behind this e-moto growth, offering tax exemptions, tax holidays, and rent-free land for charging infrastructure. With continued support, the e-moto market is expected to expand, supporting livelihoods across Rwanda. At pManifold Business Solutions Pvt. Ltd., we were honored to undertake a Technical Due Diligence (TDD) of an e-moto player based out in Rwanda, for a private company investing in climate-resilient infrastructure projects across sub-Saharan Africa. The objective of TDD is to thoroughly evaluate a company's technical and operational aspects (covering products, services, technology, processes, competitors, and more) to help investors mitigate potential risks. Our EV Systems Engineering services include: 1️⃣ Technical Due Diligence 2️⃣ Go-to-Market Strategy 3️⃣ Product Development 4️⃣ Model-Based Design 5️⃣ Engineering & Technical Consulting Rahul Bagdia | Vikrant Vaidya | Ankit Agrawal | Kunjan Bagdia | Yamini Keche #Rwanda #EMobility #SustainableTransport #EV #TechnicalDueDiligence #ClimateAction #pManifold #MobilityTransformation

Most people in the fishing villages live from fishing, with the men mostly working on the boats and the women processing and selling the fish. For many, this is barely enough to make ends meet. #Low-Cost Smart Mobility and Transport Solutions for Fishing Island Villages. Integrated Transport Systems play a vital role in creating cohesive land and sea transport networks. Studies suggest utilizing small, efficient boats for inter-island transport, alongside low-maintenance vehicles to traverse the islands themselves (Mwesigwa, 2020). #Renewable Energy sources like solar and wind can be explored to power transport systems to reduce fuel costs & mitigate environmental impact (Ntwali et al., 2021). #Community Engagement is crucial to tailoring transport solutions in tandem with the unique needs and cultural contexts of local populations and enhancing sustainability (Chilundo et al., 2019). #Affordable digital Integration such as mobile applications can be adopted to improve coordination. These platforms facilitate efficient scheduling and real-time communication between users and transport providers (Kibere et al., 2022). #Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are vital to optimizing available funding solutions for transport initiatives. These collaborations could help bridge resource gaps and promote innovation (Mabogunje, 2021). Infrastructure developments such as jetties and ferry roads are foundational to improving access and efficiency in mobility on and between islands (Sesay, 2020). #Capacity Building particularly customized training of local populations in the technical skills necessary to maintain and operate new transport technologies is crucial in ensuring long-term viability and empowering communities (Oluwadiya et al., 2019). #Supportive government Policy and Regulatory Frameworks have been identified as vital in facilitating the adoption of innovative transport solutions (Akinola, 2022). https://lnkd.in/dGtFx_ms
