Opibus, a Kenyan electric vehicle designer and manufacturer focused on creating products tailored for the region with quality, price and local production in mind, has just unveiled one of Africa’s first fully electric vehicles for the mining sector.
The vehicle system is based on a modular electric powertrain which makes it easy for mining operators to convert their current fleet of vehicles to electric without having to invest in new vehicles.This reduces cost as well as resource usage even though new vehicles can also be made completely electric. The first step in the conversion process is to service the vehicle to ensure that the body and chassis is in prime condition if it’s a used vehicle. Secondly, the fuel tank and engine are removed to leave space for the new electric powertrain - link - more like this (Africa) - link
