Roam Introduces Kenya's First Locally Manufactured Electric bus, the Roam Move

Roam has announced the launch of the Roam Move, an electric shuttle bus fully designed and assembled in Kenya. Equipped with a 170 kWh battery pack, the electric shuttle bus can travel 200 km on a single charge.

This extended range ensures uninterrupted service throughout the day, catering to the demands of urban commuters.

It features fast plug-in battery charging that ensures the bus is fully charged in less than two hours.

The interior has a capacity to accommodate 51 passengers, and offers a quiet ride that enhances the passenger experience while reducing noise pollution in densely populated areas.

The bus is also equipped with cutting-edge safety features, including collision avoidance systems, advanced driver assistance, and robust structural integrity.

Dennis Wakaba, Roam’s Country Sales Executive says: “We are thrilled to introduce 'The Roam Move,' Kenya's very own electric shuttle bus. This achievement aligns perfectly with our vision of fostering sustainable transportation solutions that make a positive impact on our environment and our communities. The launch of this electric shuttle bus represents not only a significant step forward in our commitment to sustainability but also a testament to the talent and potential within Kenya's manufacturing industry."

Founded in 2017, Roam became the first company to deliver locally produced electric motorcycles and buses in Africa.
