Uganda with Africa's first solar-powered bus



Uganda company Kiira Motors Corporation is launching Africa's first solar-powered bus.

The CEO was quoted:

"In Uganda, we have non-stop sun," he says. "No other countries manufacturing vehicles are on the equator like Uganda. We should celebrate that, and make a business out of it."

Kiira Motors recently made a prototype of the bus, and ran a test drive near the national stadium in Kampala. The Kayoola debut is big news for the country, whose President Yoweri Museveni will attend the launch.
