Usafiri

Road transport is now the largest and growing source of carbon emissions in Kenya, The government of Kenya is yet to implement mandatory emissions testing for all vehicles. the delay has left Kenyans exposed to toxins that are poisoning and killing many. Usafiri will offer to build and grow affordable electric and solar powered cars. This will reduce the pollution impact from diesel and petrol powered cars in Kenya. To achieve the affordable electric Vehicles we will offer conversion services, where we will replace petrol engines with an appropriate electric motor. According to WHO (2016), there are 20 Million cases of respiratory diseases reported in Kenyan health facilities. Usafiri will reduce the carborn emissions on the roads thereby reducing air pollution and in turn creating healthier and sustainable cities

Usafiri will directly reduce the impact of air pollution in Kenya. We will work with Kenyan Citizens and the relevant regulatory bodies to create awareness and help in the adoption of the zero emission vehicles. Usafiri will provide affordable electric and solar powered vehicles and electric conversions. we will be able 

Usafiri will involve a typical conversion that will use a DC controller and a DC motor. We will allow people to decide what voltage the system will run at typically predetermined voltage . The voltage decision controls how many batteries the car will need, and what sort of motor and controller the car will use. We will have a "donor vehicle" that will act as the platform for the conversion. The donor vehicle will be a normal gasoline-powered car that gets converted to electric. Usafiri will use   solar panels which will supplement that power either using a battery, solar panels to recharge batteries or run auxiliary systems for the car’s battery power. This will include a solar panel installation that will make use of renewable solar energy.

Usafiri uses Solar power which is a renewable and clean . It eliminates the use of fossil fuels, which are the primary source of greenhouse gases and the leading engine of global warming. The sun's energy abundant and available everywhere. Solar power is completely sustainable and environmentally friendly in most every way. 

Electric cars are in the for front of new technologies that encourage reduction of global warming. Our solution seeks to make electrifying vehicles an achievable reality for Low and middle income households.

Usafiri is at the concept stage and currently has no users, however we project to do an average of 100 electric car conversion in the first year, and up to 5000 conversions in the next five years. 

our goals 

to reduce green house gas emissions from motor vehicles by providing zero emission electric and solar powered cars

To create awareness to benefits of electric and solar powered vehicles

To promote policies that will help continue the global agenda to create and adopt sustainable and clean energy solutions

To make transport and travel affordable through use of renewable solar and electricity

Barriers

Lack of policies that help regulate importation of high carbon emissions vehicle

the high cost of batteries required to power the electric cars

A challenge in acquisition of doner cars

We plan to 

Recycle lithium batteries to power electric cars

we are currently a team of three individuals 

we have a running automotive repair shop and added experience of over 7 years working with cars. we have  good knowledge of the mechanical and electrical aspects of different car brands
