No. of Paragraph 23

IZI Rwanda, a pioneer in e-mobility, announces the delivery of five electric buses to Kigali. These buses, which will be trialled in the fleets of Kigali Bus Services (KBS) and other local operators, initiate a pilot project aimed at the electrification of public transport in Kigali for a fraction of previous cost estimates.ย 

Kigaliโ€™s population has grown 50% since 2013, while the number of operational buses has decreased significantly. This decline is largely attributed to rising diesel costs and capped ticket prices, which in many cases drive a requirement for 80% occupancy just to cover fuel costs.ย 

As Public Transport Operators (PTOs) fleets have shrunk, some commuters often endure waits of up to two hours, impacting their quality of life and productivity. Additionally, vehicle emissions account for 13% of Rwandaโ€™s greenhouse gas emissions, necessitating an urgent shift to clean transport.ย 

The Government of Rwanda has implemented numerous progressive policy initiatives to drive the electrification of public transport, but PTOs have been wary of purchasing electric vehicles because of the high initial capex, unknown resale value and absence of local maintenance facilities.
