BizTech: Key features and specialties inside Ghana's first electric bus fleet

Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has launched Ghana's first fleet of electric buses.

The unveiling of the fleet marks a major milestone in the country’s push for greener, more efficient, and affordable urban mobility.

GhanaWeb Business' Stella Dziedzorm Sogli examined the buses, which were equipped with security cameras, air conditioners, and "tap and go" services to facilitate payment.

Speaking at the launch event in Accra on November 27, 2024, the Vice President said the bus fleet promises to cut down transport fares by 40-50% while serving as a model for sustainable urban transport across the country and Africa.

He also highlighted the government’s commitment to not only improving transportation services but also addressing climate change and creating a cleaner, more inclusive urban environment for all Ghanaians.

“This initiative is about more than just buses; it’s about creating a sustainable future for generations to come,” Dr. Bawumia said during the unveiling ceremony.
