Kenyan E-Bus Startup BasiGo Secures $5 Million Debt Facility to Scale Local Production
By Tom Jackson
Kenyan electric bus solutions startup BasiGo has secured a US$5 million debt facility from British International Investment (BII), the UK’s development finance organisation, for delivery of 100 locally-produced electric buses.
BasiGo provides state-of-the-art electric buses along with charging and maintenance services for bus operators, making these vehicles affordable through a financing model that allows operators to pay for the battery and charging separately from the bus through a pay-as-you-go financing arrangement.
