3:37Now PlayingAfrica's first electric bus plant is being built in Uganda, where authorities hope it'll help transform urban transport and develop the country's green economy.
State-owned Kiira Motors Corp. plans to have an initial manufacturing capacity of 5,000 vehicles per year, including buses, starting in July 2021.
The company will be selling the buses to private and public companies that operate transport routes in and around Kampala, so its prices will need to be competitive enough to compete with other providers selling fossil fuel vehicles to the same clients.
In this video, Global Green Growth Institute Uganda's Dagmar Zwebe and ACODE's Barbara Ntambirweki explain the significance of the development and prospects for Uganda and the region's green growth trajectory.
