eWAKA, Africa’s new market entrant that is spearheading sustainable mobility options to enhance the region’s economic prospects, today officially launched a green response to Africa’s expanding transportation requirements. eWAKA is currently fundraising to develop a local African assembly facility and to further expand the existing IT capabilities for increased client security and improved operating performance of their transportation vehicles.
eWAKA offering consists of a comprehensive line of electric vehicles for multiple customer segments in different sectors from delivery companies, healthcare providers, hotels, and universities.
Vehicle options include electric bodas, the backbone of Africa’s local delivery sector, and rideshare options including electric kick start scooters and bicycles.
eWAKA’s sustainable response to the specific transport and delivery challenges of ‘the last mile’ will enhance the financial and operational performance of transportation companies.
eWAKA EV mobility options will also decrease pollution such as greenhouse gases, Co2 and noise while providing compelling affordability through low electricity prices as compared to fuel; off-grid solar power system solutions and overall low maintenance costs.
eWAKA’s strategic development plans include establishing an African production facility to assemble components of the highest standards provided by international manufacturing partners. eWAKA offers clients robust IT capabilities to support their transportation management efforts. These capabilities include an online and mobile-based app that enables real-time tracking of vehicles, performance metric monitoring and geofencing for remote immobilization.
After the current round of fundraising is closed, eWAKA will further expand on its robust IT capabilities.
