TECH WAVE: How Electric Tuktuks are taking over Kenyan roads

Meet Professor Geoffrey Gitau, a visionary university don with a mission to transform the motor industry. As a passionate e-mobility advocate, Professor Gitau is the driving force behind Eco-Mobilus, an innovative assembly unit dedicated to advancing green transportation solutions.

His pioneering work has led to the creation of some of Kenya's first electric vehicles, including an e-tuktuk, electric motorbikes, and converted quad bikes.

Eco-Mobilus stands out not only for its groundbreaking inventions but also for its commitment to sustainability.

Professor Gitau and his team have embarked on a unique approach to eco-friendly transportation by repurposing batteries collected from discarded laptops.

This inventive recycling effort reduces electronic waste and supports the development of cost-effective, green vehicle alternatives.

Professor Gitau and his team welcomed us into their world of innovation. They passionately shared their vision of making Kenya a leader in Eco-friendly transportation, highlighting how their work aligns with broader environmental goals.
