A new batch of electric coaches is making its way to the country, bringing clean, comfortable, and reliable travel even closer to passengers across the country.

As Rwanda continues to embrace e-mobility, these coaches mark another step toward zero-emission transport and a modern travel experience for intercity commuters.

And soon, they’ll be coming to a town near you!

The future of intercity travel is electric. Stay tuned. More details coming soon.

Wonderful story. Just two years ago, I met Madina Okot in our Nairobi office while she was waiting for a visa to pursue her dreams. Last night, she went #13 in the WNBA Draft.

“Delusional” dreams do come true. The power of sport.

This 3,400-acre offgrid campus in Rwanda 🇷🇼 was built by 2,500 people from the earth beneath it.

Most people think building with earth means small, temporary, or weak.

This is a 2-storey, 69-building campus.

Built with rammed earth and earth blocks made from soil dug on site, strengthened to last and resist earthquakes.

Here is what that looks like:

• No artificial lighting during the day
• Thick walls that regulate temperature
• Mostly naturally ventilated spaces
• Runs entirely on solar, producing 1.5MW of power
• Wastewater is treated and reused for irrigation

But the architecture goes beyond performance.

• 90% of the workforce was local
• 96% of materials were sourced within Rwanda
• 90% of the budget stayed within 500 miles of the site

• Stone from local quarries reduced concrete use.
• Roofs were built with timber and terracotta tiles fired using agricultural waste.

This is not just sustainable design.

It is economic design.
It is design that works with nature.
It is design shaped by people and place.

Architecture that builds with people, not just for them.

Local materials are not a limitation. They scale. They perform. They work.

Today, we launched our second #DC fast-charging station in Muhanga, expanding Rwanda’s electric mobility! The station can charge multiple buses & EVs at once, making long-distance electric travel practical and accessible. It will support EVs along the Kigali, Muhanga, Huye corridor. Following the scaling up of our 100% EV intercity coach routes connecting Kigali to Muhanga, Huye, Rubavu, Musanze, Kayonza, Rusumo, Nyagatare, and more, BasiGo is now scaling EV charging facilities nationwide! #ElectricMobility #RevolutionizeTransport #EVCharging #BasiGo #Rwanda

“Rwanda aims to be a high-income country, by 2050. That requires abundant electricity, and that is why we have decided to make nuclear energy central to our strategy.

Achieving this requires strong institutions, sound regulation,and an educated workforce, and that is the foundation Rwanda is building.

Rwanda is determined to do what it takes, to power our development with nuclear energy, and we look forward to you being a part of this journey.” President Kagame | Nuclear Energy Summit.

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.

Kenya’s EV movement has been led by two-wheelers, until now.
@Proparco’s new investment in @BasiGoKenya might be what shifts the trajectory.

By combining local assembly, charging infrastructure and PAYD financing, Basi Go is tackling the biggest adoption barriers: cost, infrastructure and policy fragmentation.

If the company succeeds in scaling to 1,000 electric buses by 2027, it won’t just decarbonise transport, it could anchor an entirely new value chain.

The Ministry of Infrastructure on Thursday, May 8, launched the first electric intercity bus route connecting Muhanga to Kigali, Nyanza, and Huye districts, as it looks to green public transport. https://t.co/QO9I2wFoxQ

[The New Times (Rwanda) @NewTimesRwanda]

UPDATE: #Rwanda’s first public electric buses outside Kigali launched in Muhanga, marking a major step in the country’s green mobility drive.

The district also becomes the first to host EV charging infrastructure.
