The European Union has given Kenya Ksh 50 billion ($378 million) to help with the electrification of the nation’s public transportation system. 

William Ruto, president of Kenya, and Ursula von de Leyen, president of the European Commission, met recently at the European Union Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, and this resulted from their discussions. 

In accordance with the terms of the agreement, zero-emission electric buses will be used on the future Green Mobility-Nairobi core bus rapid transit line 3 (BRT 3) in Kenya. 

Increasing fuel costs have a detrimental effect on the standard of living for many Kenyans, and this news comes at a time when the country is still struggling with fuel scarcity. 

Air pollution is also a major problem in Kenya, harming the lives and health of thousands of people. 

The government of Kenya has joined private companies in the electric vehicle (EV) bid, helping to create an inclusive and sustainable environment for the growth of electric mobility solutions in Kenya. 

Although Kenya promised in 2022 that the BRT system will be operated exclusively by electric vehicles, so far this has not happened due to a lack of funding. 

With this funding, Kenya will be equipped to build the essential infrastructure that will make the country’s bus rapid transit system more viable and sustainable.
