For: Emergi: Innovators in Sustainability

Emergi is introducing electric kekehs in Liberia

Why are we doing this?

Emergi wants to introduce a more sustainable and inclusive means of transport! This means:

• Less pollution in the city
• Less noise for the driver
• More income for the driver
• Inclusion of female drivers
• Better service for customers
• Reduced cost of ownership (from US$4,000 to US$2,500 per year)
• Reduced CO2 emissions and a positive impact on the environment
• Liberia's resilience is improved as locally produced renewable energy reduces dependency on unreliable gasoline import

Why are we doing this in Liberia specifically?

• Big impact because the transport sector in Liberia is outdated
• More straightforward to create a positive change due to the size of the country
• Liberia has many difficult challenges; by overcoming them we can learn a lot and scale up quickly in neighboring countries
