At the Associated Vehicle Assemblers (AVA) in Mombasa, something remarkable is happening: the assembly of electric vans.
This feature takes you inside the process, where precision and teamwork come together as engineers and technicians transform completely knocked-down units into fully electric vans ready for Kenyan roads.
It is collaboration between BasiGo and AVA, and a clear sign of how local assembly skills, and innovation are converging to power a new mobility era.

🎉 Announcing @StephanyWangari of Kenya and Annie Zulu of Zambia as the winners of the 2026 ICFJ Michael Elliott Award!
Wangari’s winning story looked at how farmers in Malawi are using an AI app to achieve better farming outcomes, and Zulu revealed how Zambian women moving to Pakistan are often being trafficked.
Recently, we hosted Ashley Momanyi Kerubo, one of Kenya’s top 2025 KCSE students, who aspires to pursue mechatronics engineering. Over two days, Ashley immersed herself in our operations, engaging with our engineers and leadership team.

Raising The Bus, The Electric Switch:
Imagine a matatu that doesn't choke you with exhaust fumes.
A matatu that doesn't shake your bones over every pothole.
And costs six times less to run than a diesel bus.
They're already here, and are multiplying.
