Deployment of Electric Buses in Kenya
Gold Standard · GS12053 · Kenya
About this project
BasiGo Limited (BasiGo) is a limited liability company incorporated in Kenya in December 2017 that will deploy electric buses in Kenya, starting first in Nairobi. Over the course of the PoA, the company expects to deploy more than 4000 buses, resulting in a reduction of 379,000 tCO2eq. The buses will be sold to the private sector bus companies (there are actually over 270 bus operators in the city of Nairobi). In March 2022 the company piloted two 25-seat buses. It will sell fifteen in Q1 2023. From Q2 BasiGo will be deploying a 34 seat bus, which again will be directly comparable to the 34 to 41 seat diesel buses on the market.
