President William Ruto Inaugurates East Africa’s Largest Electric Motorcycle Assembly Plant

As the transition to electric mobility accelerates around the world, several companies are working hard to ensure that the African continent is not left behind. One of the key focus areas in several African countries has been on the electric motorcycle sector. With millions of internal combustion engine motorcycles already on the road on the continent and some favourable unit economics for switching to electric motorcycles showcased via several pilot projects in various parts of the continent, the attention is now focused on scaling these electrification programmes. The local assembly and manufacturing of these electric motorcycles will be critical to help unlock the full benefits from this transition.
Roam, a Nairobi-based technology company that develops, designs, and deploys electric vehicles tailored for the African continent celebrated a significant milestone earlier today, as the President of Kenya, His Excellency William Ruto, officially inaugurated Roam’s state-of-the-art electric motorcycle assembly plant, Roam Park. Roam says during the inauguration, the president, accompanied by key government officials, explored the expansive facility, marvelling at the local production focus that the assembly line employed, the battery labs, and the company’s commitment to worker safety. Roam Park’s inauguration by His Excellency William Ruto represents a significant milestone not only for the company but also for the nation as a whole. It exemplifies Kenya’s determination to embrace a more sustainable future while fostering technological advancement through investment in the local production of electric mobility solutions and hence economic prosperity of Kenyans.
