On this 31st commemoration of the 1994 RWANDA Genocide against the Tutsi, we pause to honor the lives lost, the resilience of the survivors, and the strength of a nation that has rebuilt with hope and determination. #Kwibuka31

Rwanda, are you ready? We are thrilled to announce a major expansion of BasiGo's operations in Rwanda, with 28 new electric buses set for delivery this April and May! This is the largest-ever shipment of Electric Buses into Rwanda. The first batch of the E-buses is already en route and expected to arrive in Kigali in four weeks. This is the first step in our commitment to delivering 100 electric buses in Rwanda by year-end. The market response following our E-Bus pilot has been phenomenal - with our reservation book currently standing at 361 units. To support the fleet growth, we are upgrading our Charging and Service Depot in Rwandex to 1 MW of power - to charge over 25 electric buses per night. We will also build additional charging sites across the country. Rwanda has created an ideal environment for private investment and innovation in E-mobility. BasiGo is proud to lead the charge in accelerating Rwanda's transition to universal, electric public transport. 100 electric buses will cut carbon emissions by 3,000 tons annually and avoid 1.3 Million Litres of diesel combustion per year. And this is just the beginning. BasiGo will not stop until every bus in Rwanda is electric.
