Shipment Of 15 BYD K6 Electric buses to add into the Kenyan fleet after a successful pilot project.
This is the largest ever shipment of electric buses in the East African region and the shipment marks the launch of BasiGo’s commercial phase after a very successful 6-month pilot program. BasiGo now has 17 electric buses in total in Kenya. The 15 new buses have arrived partially assembled and will be taken to Associated Vehicle Assemblers (AVA) in Mombasa for final assembly and finishing. AVA is a member of SimbaCorp. BasiGo aims to have assembled over 1,000 electric buses in Kenya and have them deployed by the end of 2025. The BYD K6’s motor has a maximum power of 180kW and a maximum torque of 1500Nm. Its range of over 200 km should appeal to operators in Kenya’s urban public transport sector. In fact, the electric bus has been getting a lot of interest and BasiGo has already received over 100 requests for these buses. https://cleantechnica.com/2022/11/30/shipment-of-15-byd-k6-electric-buses-for-basigo-arrives-into-port-of-mombasa-kenya

"Thank you for the incredible support for the #BasiGoMovement. These electric buses are not just a statement for Kenya. They are a statement to the world. With over 90% of Kenya's electricity coming from clean, renewable energy, these electric buses will actually represent some of the cleanest and most inclusive public transport in the world. If we are to truly address the climate crisis, we must accelerate the deployment of clean technologies like this in markets with an abundance of renewable energy. Please follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter to stay up to date on our progress."

During COP27 we heard from Jane Akumu of UNEP that Kenya now has a surplus of green energy...this is one big way to use some of this, benefiting the health of Kenyan people and allowing Kenya to play its part in combating climate change. UNEP and the UN should also take some credit for helping to power up Kenya's green energy transition, via support for geothermal in the early 2000s and the Lake Turkana Wind Farm! And people who think Africa is not acting on climate, need to think again. Change is underway!
