A workshop on minibus electrification in Africa was hosted by GIZ and VREF in Kigali on 11-13 June 2024 and attended by researchers, private sector practitioners and decision-makers from multiple African countries. As a result we are happy to present this new Discussion Paper, which was developed alongside the workshop.
Questions explored are: How can current fossil fuel-powered minibus fleets in African cities be replaced with electric minibuses, or e-minibuses, moving from the current experimental scale to roll-out at the city or national level.
