The partnership aims to revolutionize transportation in the region, reduce carbon emissions, and pave the way for a greener future.

The three countries selected for this transformative initiative are Kenya, Togo, and Rwanda.

Bboxx is widely recognized for its innovative solar-powered solutions, offering clean and affordable electricity to off-grid communities in Africa and beyond.

The company’s partnership with Spiro, an electric vehicle mobility startup, is expected to extend the reach of clean energy into the transportation sector and contribute significantly to reducing the carbon footprint in the selected countries.

Spiro brings its expertise in developing electric two-wheelers, a popular mode of transportation in densely populated urban areas across Africa.

By combining Bboxx’s solar energy infrastructure with Spiro’s electric scooters and motorcycles, the partnership aims to create a powerful and sustainable mobility solution that caters to the needs of commuters and delivery services alike.

The three selected countries present an ideal setting for the adoption of electric mobility solutions.

In Kenya, the bustling urban centers and rapidly growing population make sustainable transportation options a necessity.

In Rwanda, the East African country has made a commitment to environmental sustainability and green initiatives.

The joint efforts of Bboxx and Spiro are expected to result in the deployment of electric scooters and motorcycles in key urban areas within the three countries. 

These electric vehicles will be powered by Bboxx’s solar-powered charging stations, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels and contributing to cleaner air and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

As Africa continues to face the challenges of rapid urbanization and climate change, the Bboxx-Spiro partnership stands as a shining example of how innovation and collaboration can address these issues head-on.

By accelerating the adoption of electric mobility, this transformative initiative has the potential to create a significant positive impact on the environment, public health, and the overall quality of life for people across Kenya, Togo, and Rwanda.

The partnership’s success is expected to inspire similar endeavors in other African nations, further propelling the continent towards a sustainable and carbon-neutral future.

The facility will manufacture 50,000 electric motorbikes annually, with the aim of reducing carbon emissions, alleviating urban congestion, and bolstering the country’s green economy.

The grand inauguration ceremony was attended by prominent government officials, industry leaders, and environmental advocates, symbolizing the importance of this milestone in Kenya’s journey towards embracing electric mobility and clean energy alternatives.

Substantial investments from both local and international partners have supported roam’s ambitious venture.

Billed as the largest in East Africa, the Roam factory is equipped with cutting-edge technology and adheres to the highest environmental standards.

In addition to production, it will enable the thousands of petrol-powered motorbike taxis to be converted to electric power.

“This plant illustrates Kenya’s potential as a leader in clean transport solutions on the continent. It is, therefore, an initiative that fits perfectly with our national objectives of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions,” said the President of the Republic, William Ruto, during the launch of the factory.

Roam’s electric motorbikes have garnered significant attention in the market due to their robust design, impressive performance, and affordable price range.

These e-motorbikes offer a viable alternative to traditional petrol-powered two-wheelers, making them particularly appealing to urban commuters and delivery service providers.

With the inauguration of Roam’s factory, Kenya is poised to take a significant stride towards building a greener and cleaner future, setting a benchmark for sustainable transportation initiatives across the continent.
