Kiira Motors Corporation (KMC) has today announced Uganda\u2019s first e-Mobility Expo and Kiira Vehicle Plant (KVP Open Day \u2013 which is taking place on Friday 16 th August 2024 at the Kiira Vehicle Plant in Jinja from 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm. This will be the first e-mobility expo to be held by an ingenious vehicle production company on the African continent .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Held under the theme The Future is Green; The Future is Now, the first-of-its-kind event is designed to explore, showcase, and encourage the adoption of electric mobility solutions in Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The expo will gather over 200 industry leaders, policymakers, investors, innovators, and the public to discuss Uganda\u2019s readiness to adapt to the e-mobility revolution \u2013 all towards positioning the nation as a net source of e-mobility solutions for Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While addressing the press during a media roundtable held on the all-electric city bus the Kayoola EVS Model 2024, Mr. Paul Isaac Musasizi, the Chief Executive Officer of Kiira Motors Corporation, said, \u201cThis expo marks a significant milestone in Uganda\u2019s journey
towards embracing sustainable Mobility as electric mobility offers immense potential for reducing the nation’s carbon footprint and creating new economic opportunities \u2013 all while encouraging local innovation. We are proud to host this inaugural event and showcase the innovations that will shape the future of mobility in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The expo will feature a series of fireside chats held by experts in the fields of e-financing, green infrastructure development, and more.
With a population of 45.9 million people and thanks to increased urbanisation, the mobility needs of this population have resulted in vehicular emissions which are the leading cause of Kampala\u2019s increased air pollution readings from an annual average of 39.5\u00b5g\/m3 in 2019 to 41 \u00b5g\/m3 in 2024 1 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These readings are about eight times above the yearly average guideline of 5 \u00b5g\/m3 recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) 2 – negatively affecting the health and well-being of Kampala residents and necessitating the need for green mobility solutions
that reduce the city and country\u2019s reliance on combustion engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allan Muhumuza, the Team Leader of the Mobility Bureau in the Secretariat of Science and Technology in the Office of the President, said, \u201cWith a vision to see Uganda transition to e- mobility in public mass transport, motorcycles, and passenger vehicles, the Government is
implementing the National e-Mobility Strategy \u2013 which looks to build an efficient and self- sustaining ecosystem. This event is a bold step towards further bringing together all the relevant players towards seeing this vision come to life to combat climate change and
enhance the quality of life for our citizens.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The day will also double as the Kiira Vehicle Plant Open Day \u2013 during which several exhibitors will have varying products and services on display and for sale, including Innovex, Nexus Green, Green Hub, Karaa KaCyber Securities Ltd., and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Open Day will also allow attendees to tour the state-of-the-art Kiira Vehicle Plant \u2013 whose construction started in 2019 and is now nearing completion, ahead of its official commissioning in October this year, and at full capacity, will produce 5,000 vehicles annually.
The plant includes facilities like offices, Production Facilities, power and water distribution systems, waste management facilities, and vehicle test facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
