The US-based app recently announced the first launch of electric motorcycle taxis in Kenya. Dubbed Electric Boda, 3,000 of them are planned to be released within 6 months.
This is part of the company’s goal to be emissions-free by 2040 and to support the government’s green mobility scheme.
Currently, the motorcycle taxi industry in the country provides employment for more than 1.5 million young people, contributing around $1.4 billion to the economy each year.
