Tanzania set to gain from Uganda’s groundbreaking electric bus plant

Tanzania is well-positioned to capitalise on the opportunity presented by East Africa’s first electric vehicle manufacturing plant in Uganda, as the country has a reliable power supply, and abundant deposits of iron, coal, and strategic minerals.

At the end of the year, Uganda is expected to launch its electric bus manufacturing plant, the first of its kind in East Africa.

The milestone has been globally lauded due to its significant reduction of carbon emissions, which adversely contribute to climate change, and the region’s transition to clean energy.
