Sierra Leone is set to introduce a significant change in its transportation sector by trialling 15 electric three-wheeler motorcycle taxis, known as e-kekes, in Freetown. This initiative is part of a larger project aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving urban mobility in the country. Supported by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and funded by the European Union, the project focuses on developing regulatory frameworks, piloting electric three-wheelers, and designing sustainable business models to accelerate electric vehicle adoption. The shift to e-kekes is expected to bring substantial environmental benefits by reducing air pollution and enhancing road safety. Despite the higher upfront investment, feasibility studies show that e-kekes offer cost advantages in the long term, with reduced operational costs and efficient battery swap systems. The project also emphasizes gender inclusion by targeting 30% of women drivers to test drive the concept, aiming to increase female participation in the transport sector. This initiative aligns with Sierra Leone's goals of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, cutting fossil fuel dependence, and creating job opportunities in the electric vehicle sector. The project, scheduled to continue until 2026, includes innovative features like solar-powered battery-swapping stations to ensure operational efficiency and a robust monitoring framework to track the program's impact on vehicle performance, the environment, and socio-economic benefits.
