In this inaugural episode of The Report on Uganda Daily, we explore Uganda’s bold journey into green mobility, with a special focus on Kiira Motors Corporation—Africa's first electric vehicle initiative. From its beginnings in a university workshop to the development of the first African electric hybrid vehicle, the Kiira EV, this episode takes you through the history, milestones, and future goals of Uganda’s EV revolution.
We dive into the groundbreaking work of Kiira Motors, including the Kayoola Solar Bus, the Kiira EVS Sedan, and their ambitious plans for mass production of electric vehicles. Along the way, we hear from key figures, explore the impact on Uganda’s economy, and discuss the potential for a cleaner, greener future.
Tune in for a deep dive into how innovation, collaboration, and government support are shaping the future of transportation in Uganda and across Africa.
