School Of The Nations Acquires Electric School Buses From BasiGo, Making It The First School In Kenya To Transition To E-Mobility - CleanTechnica

School of the Nations in Kenya has become the first school in the country to adopt electric school buses, marking a significant step toward sustainable student transportation. The school acquired its first electric bus from BasiGo, a pioneering East African startup specializing in electric public transport. BasiGo has already deployed 132 electric buses across the region, collectively avoiding over 4,500 tons of CO2 emissions and saving more than 1.6 million liters of diesel while transporting over 11 million passengers. The initial electric bus for the school is a refurbished 25-seat BYD model, previously used in Nairobi’s public transport system, demonstrating durability and safety at a more affordable price point than new vehicles. This transition aligns with the school’s commitment to sustainability and student well-being, offering clean, quiet transport while providing a practical example of environmental responsibility to students. BasiGo plans to deliver a total of 11 electric vehicles, including 10 Ma3E electric vans, to fully electrify the school’s transport
