Africa's Cities Are Choking
Diesel-powered matatus and buses are the backbone of African public transport — but they come at a devastating cost. Toxic exhaust fumes contribute to thousands of premature deaths across East African cities every year.
Beyond health, fossil fuel volatility inflates operating costs for fleet owners, reducing profitability and reliability for millions of daily commuters.
- ✕ Toxic diesel exhaust & rampant air pollution
- ✕ High & volatile fuel costs for operators
