Thank you for always showing the positive side of Kenya.. Kenyans let us learn to appreciate the little achievements we have despite what we're going through..this country will be great one day♥️🇰🇪🙏
Amen to that my fellow kenya👍🏽🙌🏼👏🏼
MOST KENYANS ARE BRAIN DRAINED BY POLITICS.
i dont think so, with the current regime..
I agree with you 💯
This is good for the country. This country harbours great potential. Now what we need is a revolutionary leadership.
Everything grows in Kenya, this now includes the EV industry.
My all time favourite Journalist @Alex Chamwada and thanks to the team behind the work.
Ebikes Africa have the best e-bicycles in Kenya. They are also a Kenyan company. Good job Chamwada & team!
Im glad Kenya is developing..This is what I admired when in U.S
Was glad to board one ev bus to the airport at the beginning of the year... Very smooth riding
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 Good move majirani
The BasiGo are listed for 7.5 million cash (not 18 million). The leasing option was 700,000bob but that's correct, it's now a million bob.
I was wondering there for a moment, 18M 🤔 thanks for clarifying.
What a polished English brother from Rwanda!!!
Thika Thika ❤,,has a lot 🙏
Kenyan are brilliant people
Inspiring, only if this country had the right leaders
And institutions most importantly.
Profound point
BYD is Chinese company but these is great chance for Kenyan to be exposed to first world technology
Good job team
เก่งมากพึ่งในประเทศตัวเอง❤❤
Kiira Motors of Uganda is going to make 25 buses per day.
Next do Tatu City.
He's already done one recently.

Good job
Good👍 government shareholders will be considered first then rest???
Do you mean manufacturing or assembly. Manufacturing starts from the processing of raw material to the final assembly
Can’t u see?
Man car manufacturing is the most easiest it’s all about if u wants to do, it’s a team work if u know what’s that mean
Let's them bring me back home and employ me,i have experience in repair rectified and chargers installation,battery cells arrange ment....I have experience in electric forklift for 10 good years expecially in junghenrich,crown,still and toyota,...
What happened with the guy with the arm rest😂😂 Did he over speed with the e bike?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣over speeding is very dangerous
Uganda new bus and car manufacturing facilities will overshadow that Kenyan workshop if they don't scale up their capacity.
If you truly understood the real politics behind electric/combustion engines because even science and scientific data have been known to be embellished to a certain end result you would find comfort in whatever choice you make electric/ internal combustion engines
For ksh 15 =80km .that bicycle is top notch
But the country doesn't have a solid supply of electricity
Surely, this would be a good opportunity to consider, electric charging and energy storage stations there and nearby.
Kenya has leap-frogged past the UK in this sector. It should learn from this company, BasiGo.
Don't just clap for everything! Do your research first.
This technology is not that feasible even in the countries busy promoting it.
It's very feasible that's why America is imposing 100% tarrifs on Chinese EVs,if it was not feasible they wouldn't care that much,EVs are here to stay any challenges that come with it will be improved as time goes by just like internal combustion engines
@@Brian-bo4bz Look at this clueless guy. So the US told you they're imposing 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs because EVs are so successful and feasible?
Come on dude, you can't be this Naive in 2024. Even Tesla's Ross Gerber admits no one wants EVs and Robots.
I would rather by hybrid Toyota than buy electric car.i don’t trust this technology yet.
how can i be among the members. am interested in auto elecrtics
Nimeona logo ya BYD
Tumefikiwa
Was wondering as well.
Yes, the BasiGO are BYD. They've also introduced some TATAs but they look funny.
Build Your Dreams
🔥🙌🏾
Even Africa has more EV Than USA .
Yes. In the old manufacturing countries, the USA, Japan, Korea, Europe, they have to defeat the gasoline lobbies, however Chinese, African and other manufacturers have the advantage of starting without the old forms of thinking and oppressive interest groups.
All fine and dandy but people need to pause and actually think about these things before we just get excited. How are these vehicles "cleaning" the environment? Life is so unnecessarily expensive for Kenyans as is.
The new pump and dump scheme
Make long buses and forget about those nusu mkate that are looking ugly on the roads.
What about Brt bus?
What about them?
BYD is it affiliate of China's?
It's not an affiliate but more of a local authorized dealer. People are surprised. These BYDs have been on the road for two years now
This is our chance to implement BRT along Thika Road, Eastern Bypass and other routes.
Hiyo haitwahi fanyika bro let it go smh
@@itsTheTruthTeller mbona isifanyike?! Why can't we implement projects yet we spend money on them? Kenyatta's put Ksh 7 billion on Thika Road BRT. Ruto's government has put Ksh 8 billion on Outering Road BRT. People should be in jail because we deserve to see what we invest in.
@@felixmakinda7689 if you can take them to jail take them to jail bruh. Lakini ujue kenya sio country efficient sawa? ile corruption iko hapa ni ya hali ya juu sana... I thought you already know this by now?😶😶
@@felixmakinda7689 if you can end corruption, you'll get your BRT bro

Assembly, not manufacture. Really hope that you'll get an editor one day
He has said assembly many times. China started by assembly. No manufacturing is done even in us.mobile money there said it wasn't feasible it was done here you can't run marathon under two hours we did we chased white man without guns.You haven't even develope an app.
@@pinchesmbuche4354 read the title of the video
Kwani what headline are you reading? 'New jobs as Electric Vehicle assembly begins in Kenya'
@@kelvinomondi4337 he changed it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In the video, he uses the word built in Kenya. Not manufactured.
Because the electricity connection is over 80%,why can't the govt give each school an electric bus?
Public schools don't have buses
Schools can't manage with maintenance of these buses. It is way more expensive than diesel ones
Public schools is not primary schools only there are high schools also and almost 90% of public high schools have buses@@itsTheTruthTeller
@@DonOkwaro-by7lt I know but those buses in high school are for school functions only not day to day use as school transportation
Thanks. The bicycles are expensive. If they were like 50 k, they would be more attractive to me.
Fuel vehicles will forever win disagree with me but it's all reality
No they won't. They already cheaper in many cases, and maintenance costs are almost non-existent co.pared to ICE. Also their performance is generally much better. However, the biggest factor, is there is HUGE room for improvement in electric vehicles going forward, whereas the technology for ICE has peaked.
As much as I love this idea we did the same thing in Canada The electric bus company went out of business and they're on the hook for millions of dollars and can't get parts and the buses are sitting. Edmonton
In Canada we have an amazing electrical grid.
Very reliable all of the time.
How do you expect to run electric buses in a country that has horrendous uptime with the power grid.
Every time I'm back there we got power out for days sometimes.
Is Nairobi magical and different with the power grid to the rest of the country?
Diesel electric yes, fully electric is not showing to be very economical in the long run
let us face these problems firsthand we might learn a thing or two
What Kenya do you know?Power outages are not that frequent in Kenya and in any case you can always have backup
Which kenya are you talking about?
Power outages are rare in Kenya. The bus builder you're talking about may have chosen to go at it alone. The BasiGo are BYDs, currently the largest supplier of commercial EVs worldwide. It controls the supply chain on the EV market. So parts won't be an issue for the local manufacturer.
Edmonton is the centre of the oil and petrochemical industry in Canada. I won't be surprised if they intervened to make sure electric vehicles would not have a foothold there.
Toyota was right all along by saying that hybrids are the future and not pure electric cars! Just look at how the sale of EVs has plummeted and people are instead opting for hybrid vehicles!
For EVs to see mass adoption, the technology needs to advance to the point where one can recharge the battery to 100% in less than 10 minutes and be able to get a range of at least 1000 miles on a single charge! Then the issue of battery fires also needs to be fixed permanently! Otherwise, hybrid cars are the best for now and in the foreseeable future! 😏
In china evs are leading sales , the only reason why evs are plummeting in the western world is because those economies have every reason to maintain the status quo, Germany depends alot on motor vehicle sales and their evs cant compete, go to japan their economy heavily depends on vehicle exports their evs cant compete so they've decided to maintain ices in the us ford ,chevy , Chrysler etc are major employers but their evs cant compete so they are maintaining their ices. If the tarrifs were to be dropped by all the western world the uptake of evs would be immense.
Yeah you have a valid point but I'll tell you one thing, it depends on the market. Take a look at Norway EVs business, or take a look at Kenya's energy production it's hugely renewable. I am a believer in hybrids but for Kenya, EVs can win very ruthlessly. And the perks that come with this are awesome. From the semiconductor industry to materials sciences research, I believe with the right policies this Ev industry will have a ripple effect in Kenya. So there is a huge potential for Kenya.
I feel like it will work for kenyan market.
Sales of EVs haven't plummeted. It's the US and EU markets that are blocking their people from getting cheaper EVs from China, more like what they did to Huawei to protect Apple. So, people are choosing not to buy. But other countries outside the US, EU, and Australia, EVs are booming. You just heard that BasiGO will only manage 10% of the orders. That speaks volume.
To be fair, EVs shifting from charging for 8 hours to only 30 minutes is already a massive improvement in technology. It won't take long to make charging even faster.
Mimi huona tu wajaluo kwa comments. Hawa wa kikuyu ni busaa tu.. wanatuangua
Usiguse murima wewe! Ni business community, hawataki haya maneno yakuleta change town center.
Tribalism is eating you all over.
isn’t this Assembling !
imported parts
The chassis/frame and paneling are built from scratch as you've seen. It's a great start, considering how the paint is perfectly done. I don't think there's any local manufacturer that can meet the quality of the interior and exterior dressing for now. Those components are top-notch.
It's a great start since the main bus frame is built from scratch. The rest of the components have to be imported since there's no manufacturer that can produce them locally. That may happen with time.
@@essaundiema5745my friend Kenya started to assembly vehicle in Thika many years ago instead of progressing to wards manufacturing all parts,due to the interest of the multinational companies,they can not allowed this to happen,Kenya Railway Cooperation, Kenya Defence force factory in Elderot and Kenya Motor Corporation in South B, have engine forging machine to make engine blocks,manufacture all manners of components of machines,but because there no central to coordinate polices,practices toward industrializiation we shall go cycles,Uganda are manufacturing electric buses and vehicles from scratch under the Kiira Motor Corporation, Zimbabwe are manufacturing there on local designed car Muzera!
If only our fellow guys would emurate you in consistency and remaining objective. Most went to politics for easy clicks.
Because we love politics
@@itsTheTruthTeller no we don't. We follow other things from other countries that take the centre stage in those countries

@itsTheTruthTellber bro you are in every comment 😂
Once again, a good idea ruined by choosing local body fabricators who can never attain the needed standards in terms of safety, comfort, durability, and value for money. The first versions of the electric bus were popular more for their comfort than anything else. A majority of Kenyans use buses as their main mode of vehicular transport. It is a high time they enjoy the same quality travel private car owners enjoy. There is no logic in slapping a shoddily built body on a brand new chassis, except maybe to benefit coach-builders who have no reason to evolve.
Good point, how about you make your own electric bus company that has all the comforts that one can need instead of complaining about these ones
@@itsTheTruthTeller I could if you provided the money and promised the buy the product. But I doubt you have any idea what a proper bus should look like. And I'm not talking about these funny contraptions you call buses.
@@bluekenya4825 I'm not interested in transporting people, its too much stress
Do you really know the difference between assembling a body and building a body???
Kenyan bussiness or foreigners? So everything in Kenya is foreign 😂
And why all new company are in murima ⛰️
Nchi ya ukabila tu😢😮
What are you complaining ??? Stop being a crap and know that Thika is an industrial town.
Maybe because the actual entrepreneurs are Kikuyu?! Idk just food for thought.
