BasiGo has expanded its electric bus infrastructure in Nairobi by launching three new charging depots and a dedicated Service and Customer Excellence Centre to support public electric transport. In another development in Kenya's automotive sector, Chinese brand Jetour officially launched, introducing four new SUV models priced between KES 4.9 million and KES 7.8 million. Jetour also announced a KES 1.4 billion investment for local assembly operations via its distributor, Global Motors Centre Limited. Complementing these developments, a Bolt Safety Index Report by Ipsos reveals that 94% of Kenyan ride-hailing users perceive the apps as safer than traditional transport. This finding was based on a survey conducted in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and Nakuru.
