Kenya's innovative vehicles reduce carbon emissions by over 90% for motorcycles
and 80% for buses, while also cutting local emissions and creating financial
value for users. Kenya's reliance on 98% green energy and strong policy support
presents immense potential for innovation and local manufacturing in the
Electric Vehicle (EV) sector.
The visit comes as Ms. Miranda attends the IASP World Conference this week. The collaboration between government, industry, and international experts is expected to pave the way for a greener, more sustainable transportation future in Kenya and beyond.
