In acomment Paul Isaac Musasizi, the CEO, Kiira Motors Corporation, described the National E-Mobility Expo 2025 as a spirited affirmation of Uganda’s resolve to pioneer a cleaner, smarter, and more inclusive tomorrow.
“It marks a profound shift from passive aspiration to active transformation. Here, we are not change fans and analysts, we are engineering it, scaling it, and living it. This is the heartbeat of a nation on the move. We are now architects of a future only we can define, and like every great movement, ours began with a spark,” Musasizi said.
He added that Uganda’s electric vehicles are unique because they are tailored for local terrain, local needs, and local economies. They offer affordability without compromise, efficiency without pollution, and mobility without dependency.
“For our customers, this means lower transport costs, cleaner air, and greater reliability. For entrepreneurs, it means new business models, franchise opportunities, and access to fiscal space that was previously out of reach. The Kayoola EVS buses, for example, are moving people while unlocking enterprise value, enabling operators to reinvest in service quality, expand routes, and create jobs,” he said.
