ROAM Launches AI-Enabled Real-Time Monitoring Solution For Electric Fleets In Kenya - CleanTechnica

Kenyan electric mobility manufacturer Roam has introduced Roam Explorer, an AI-enabled real-time vehicle intelligence platform designed specifically for electric fleets in Africa. The system connects electric motorcycles, tuk-tuks, buses, and cars to a centralized digital platform that monitors battery health, performance, location, and usage. Unlike previous generic modules, Roam Explorer is tailored for electric mobility and optimized for the local ecosystem, addressing challenges such as inconsistent connectivity and limited fleet data in many African markets. It operates on 2G, 3G, and 4G networks and offers both smartphone and SMS interfaces, enhancing accessibility for users in lower-income areas with limited smartphone penetration. Roam Explorer leverages AI to predict maintenance needs, reduce breakdowns, and improve fleet safety and reliability. It serves as the digital operating layer for Roam’s electric vehicles, enabling fleet managers and financiers like M-KOPA to remotely monitor assets, thereby facilitating scaling and reducing financial risk. Developed in Kenya with Swedish partners, the platform reflects
