Uganda\u2019s automakers Kiira Motors Corporation LTD (KMC) together with Luweero Industries limited have carried out pre delivery inspection with Tondeka Bus Operators  for 5 buses built in  Nakasongola. The function was officiated by Hon Dr. Monica  Musenero and attended by stakeholders from Ministry of Works and Transport and  KCCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier an  inter ministerial meeting was held led by the Hon. Dr. Monica Musenero Masanza Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation, Office of the President to discuss a  strategy for catalyzing the transition to e-mobility in Uganda . During the meeting a task force was constituted to work out a robust roadmap that will see Uganda transition to green mobility  technologies that will include electric vehicles and motorcycles .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This follows  HE President Yoweri Museveni s three addresses to the nation where he has emphasized the need to  switch to E mobility to mitigate against the global current fuel crisis that has led to high pump prices .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe correct way to address the current fuel crisis in Uganda is to move from petrol to electric cars, buses, motor cycles and trains. Uganda should have made a full transition to Electric Vehicles within 20 Years,\u201d President Museveni guided .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

E-Mobility refers to clean and efficient transport, using electric vehicles, powered either by batteries or hydrogen fuel cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development Mr. Matia Kasaija has stated the his ministry strongly supports the strategy of transition to E-mobility as per the guidance of  President Museveni .<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cWe have already taken bold steps towards building a robust competitive & sustainable mobility industrial value chain in Uganda. Increasing adoption \u00a0and use of clean energy through use of electric transport solutions is a key intervention under sustainable energy development program \u00a0of NDP III,\u201d Kasaija stated on his official twitter handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Phase one of the kiira vehicle Plant which has been constructed by the UPDF under NEC is at 98% completion and has capacity to produce 22 buses a day and 5,000 a year . Some of the Kiira Motors products now on the market include the much famed Kayoola EVs \u2013 the fully electric buses and the Kayoola Diesel Coaches (KDC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
