Kenya has launched the continent’s first fleet of hydrogen fuel cell buses in Nairobi, marking a leap toward green public transport. Developed by Japanese and South Korean partners, the buses run silently with zero tailpipe emissions.
The initiative is part of Kenya’s Vision 2040 to cut carbon emissions and promote sustainable urban mobility. The government plans to install hydrogen refueling stations at six locations over the coming year.
East African cities like Uganda’s Kampala and Rwanda’s Kigali, along with South Asian metros, are watching closely for possible adaptation of hydrogen technology in mass transit systems.
