The increased demand for e-buses worldwide will accelerate the technology maturation and mass roll-out of the technology.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-title\">UITP kicked off TUMI activities in Nairobi<\/h2>\n<p>One of the deep dive cities of TUMI is Nairobi, Kenya. Last March, UITP held an introductory workshop kicking off TUMI\u2019s E-bus Mission activities in the city, with the support of the African Association of Public Transport (UATP), the UITP Reginal Office for Africa in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire. We sat down with Mr. Yssoufou Cisse, Manager of the UATP, to take a closer look at&nbsp;<strong>how TUMI is defining a clearer path towards a more sustainable Nairobi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-title\">Can you tell us what are the biggest challenges you see in Nairobi today and how TUMI could tackle them?<\/h2>\n<p>A key challenge in Nairobi is the rapid increase of urban mobility demand in combination with the fact that urban buses are predominantly powered by older technology diesel engines. This means that urban buses are 1% of all on-road vehicles, but account for 25% of black carbon emissions (soot). Moreover, the age of buses is between 12-23 years, while the used vehicles import and sales are unregulated.<\/p>\n<p>Some first e-mobility initiatives have already been launched in Kenya. For example, the start-up BasiGo launched the first e bus with operator City Hoppa earlier this year, and operator KBS is currently in discussion with the government about developing e-bus charging infrastructure in Nairobi.<\/p>\n<p>A further transition to e-buses will have a positive impact on commuters and the general public health as it will reduce air pollution emitted by public transport. In addition, public transport operating costs will be lower and therefore could have a positive financial impact on both the local government and the passengers.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-title\">Can you tell us a bit more about UITP\u2019s role in TUMI\u2019s Nairobi activities?<\/h2>\n<p>UITP acts as Project Manager and facilitator of relationships and logistics with the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (NAMATA), GIZ and other stakeholders. The kick-off workshop we held in March was a dialogue between them, in which we discussed the implementation plan of activities in Nairobi.<\/p>\n<p>These activities include technical and expert assistance to create a gap analysis for clean bus deployment strategies, support in tendering of clean buses, but also capacity building such as training sessions and study tours. Capacity building is necessary to enable a functional bus rapid transit system.<\/p>\n<p>For African cities, the key measure of progress for the next five years is to develop an e-mobility fleet strategy that will specifically identify the city&#8217;s vision, identify its status, design a road map to reach its vision and identify clear funding mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uitp.org\/news\/the-tumi-e-bus-mission-is-on-a-quest-to-advance-e-bus-deployment-across-the-globe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Original article by UITP<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transformative-mobility.org\/campaigns\/tumi-e-bus-mission\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more about the TUMI E-Bus Mission<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transformative-mobility.org\/campaigns\/tumi-e-bus-mission\"><br \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E-Bus mission project wants to support cities across the world in their transition towards electric bus deployment Air and noise pollution are among the most pressing problems in today\u2019s cities, and many cities around the world are putting the spotlight on electric mobility as their solution.
