Can we build a future of silent, zero-exhaust transportation?
From a dismissed prototype to a massive transit network, Doreen Orishaba demonstrates how electric vehicles are transforming African transit. Discover the practical steps required to scale clean, affordable, and quiet transport systems.
In 2011, the creation of Africa's first electric car was widely criticized as a mere novelty for Westerners. However, the reality of electric mobility is much more grounded. Today, Doreen Orischeba manages a fleet of dozens of electric buses operating throughout Kenya and Rwanda.
These vehicles serve thousands of daily commuters using near-silent engines that produce zero exhaust. The transition involves more than just new engines; it requires understanding how to scale clean transport and the logistical shift of moving away from traditional gas stations.
