Uganda is fast becoming a hub for electric transport in Africa. Electric motorcycles and battery-swapping stations are spreading across the country, while locally assembled electric buses are entering service.

Why now: Uganda's rapid adoption of electric vehicles with Chinese backing is being highlighted as a model for Africa's transport and industrial future.
