Enable Electric Tricycles for Passenger Transport in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania

This project will introduce electric 3-wheelers as an alternative to traditional fuel-powered tricycles in Dar Es Salaam. In addition, and in partnership with Total Energy, battery swapping charging stations will be set up, ensuring that drivers have access to fully charged batteries during their operations. Through a B2B business model, AG Energies Company Ltd will act as a wholesaler, introduce a “lease-to-own” model, and manage the maintenance of the vehicles.  

Outcome and Impact

Through the sales of 54 electric 3-wheelers, AG Energies Company Ltd will create enhanced energy access for 54 people. On an annual basis, 212 tCO2e will be reduced and 267 MWh of clean electricity will be generated. The company plans to create 14 permanent jobs, with 38% of leadership positions filled by women. Savings on energy-related expenditure is estimated to be EUR 20K.
