<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe 2024 8-Meter Kayoola EVS is a fully electric city bus with a nominal range of 200 kilometres on a full charger and capacity of 56 passengers. It forms the latest offering from Kiira Motors\u2019 rich portfolio of state-of-the-art Ugandan-made buses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bus is built to offer the utmost comfort and convenience with features like infotainment systems, CCTV cameras, E-Ticketing & Cashless Payment Systems, Wi-Fi, inclusive design for the elderly and persons with disabilities, USB charging, ample carrying capacity, and the highest quality and safety standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The convoy of 8 buses caused a stir as they weaved through traffic from Luwero to Kawempe, across the Northern Bypass for a brief stopover at the Kisaasi roundabout before proceeding to Bweyogerere and finally to Jinja covering a distance of 236 kilometres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Prof. Sandy Stevens Tickodri-Togboa, Kiira Motors\u2019 Executive Chairman, said, \u201cUganda\u2019s push towards becoming a net source of e-Mobility Solutions in Africa is steadily getting closer and we are proud to be contributing to this agenda. This progress has been made possible by the strategic partnership we have fostered with National Enterprise Corporation and its Luwero Industries Limited subsidiary.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n He added that following World Environment Day – which is celebrated internationally on the 5th of June every year \u2013 and with the knowledge that Kampala\u2019s air is nine times more polluted than the World Health Organisation (WHO)\u2019s recommended limit – more Ugandan public and private sector players need to embrace environmentally sustainable means of mass transit for the good of the environment with solutions that offer quality and value for money like the Kiira Motors portfolio of products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The company is also looking to mainstream the deployment and distribution of its fast-charging infrastructure to cater to its customers and other Ugandans who have embraced the electric vehicle transition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Eng. Ian John Kavuma, Kiira Motors\u2019 Quality Inspection and Testing Manager added, \u201cWe are in the process of onboarding several partners with whom we shall work to ensure that a robust charging network is established across the country in line with the National E-Mobility Strategy for a seamless electric vehicle ownership experience.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Kiira Motors offers fast-chargers ranging between 60kW and 360kW. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2024 Kayoola EVS comes in the following variations: 18-meter EV with capacity of 120 passengers; 12-meter EVS with capacity of 90 passengers; 10-meter EVS with capacity of 70 passengers, 8-meter EVS with capacity of 56 passengers; and 6-meter with capacity of 20 passengers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Editor:msserwanga@gmail.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Uganda’s Automotive industry flagship, Kiira Motors Corporation (KMC) ,fresh from showcasing its premuim products for the East African (EAC) regional<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12114,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[399,372],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kiira-motors","category-ugandas-automotive-industry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/km.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":13131,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/european-union-ambassadors-tour-kiira-vehicle-plant-as-kiira-motors-champions-e-mobility-in-africa\/","url_meta":{"origin":12113,"position":0},"title":"European Union Ambassadors Tour Kiira Vehicle Plant As Kiira Motors Champions E- Mobility In Africa","author":"MOSES SSERWANGA","date":"October 27, 2024","format":false,"excerpt":"The Heads of Mission of the European Union led by Ambassador Jan Sadek who is the Head of the EU Delegation to Uganda have toured the Kiira Vehicle Plant in Jinja aboard the 2024 model Kayoola fully electric Coach in a marked endorsement of the country\u2019s E- mobility solutions.
