Kiira Motors Corporation, the company that government created to start motor vehicle manufacturing in Uganda, has announced plans to begin automobile production in 2018.
Speaking in an interview at the Corporation offices in Ntinda, a city suburb last week, Mr Paul Musasizi, the chief executive officer, said so far the two concept vehicles that have been produced - the Kiira EV and Kiira Smack should serve as a demonstration to Ugandans that the country is the real deal for automotive engineering and technology innovation.
“There is a difference between manufacturing and developing concepts. We have developed three concept vehicles and we are working on the manufacturing plant in Jinja,” he said.
He explained that concept vehicles mainly rely on environmentally friendly technology that minds about the environmental needs of future generations.

“Climate change is real and requires us to think about the future,” he said, as he inspected the final touches on the 35-seater bus named Kayoola. The bus will be powered by solar energy.
“The same people who promised that they will deliver a two-seater sedan, promised that they will deliver an SUV. We promised a solar powered bus which we are delivering next month,” he said.

He added that they will use internationally trending materials and technology to ensure that the vehicles they produce adhere to acceptable safety standards.
According to Mr Musasizi, the Kiira Motors Corporation began with startup capital of $70m (Shs242.7b). Currently they require another $48m (Shs166.4b) for work on innovation and training of the personnel to work on the project before they can start production in 2018.
“When we finally start off the project, we shall need $90m (Shs312billion) for buying materials and running the core business. We shall also ensure that the market is available for the vehicles,” he said.

A solar-powered bus described by its Ugandan makers as the first in Africa has been driven in public.

Kiira Motors' Kayoola prototype electric bus was shown off at a stadium in Uganda's capital, Kampala.

One of its two batteries can be charged by solar panels on the roof which increases the vehicle's 80km (50 mile) range.

The makers now hope to attract partners to help manufacture the bus for the mass market.

People have been excited by the idea that Uganda is able to produce the concept vehicle, or prototype, and Mr Musasizi said he wanted it to help the country "champion the automotive, engineering and manufacturing industries" in the region.

He also hopes that it will generate employment, predicting that by 2018, more than 7,000 people could be directly and indirectly employed in the making of the Kayoola.

But backing from international companies, which make vehicle parts, is essential for the project to take off.

The vision is that by 2039 the company will be able to manufacture all the parts and assemble the vehicle in Uganda.

The 35-seat bus is intended for urban areas rather than inter-city use because of the restrictions on how far it can travel.

If it is mass produced, each bus would cost up to $58,000 (£40,000), which Mr Musasizi says is a a competitive price.

Kiira Motors grew out of a project at Uganda's Makerere University, which is now a shareholder in the company, and it has also benefitted from government funding.

ila bado sijaelewa kama ni kw ajili ya betri tu au hadi mbadala wa mafuta na kama ndivyo misuli itawashuka na nakuunga mkono
 
Mh. Haiwezekani panel chache hizo zikawasha mota ya kuendesha basi lote hilo. Nadhan ni mbadala wa betri tu.
 
Japi bado ni mapema sana kuwapongeza waganda maana wanaoenda sifa.
sisi kiwanda chetu cha Nyumbu waliua....oo Ccm mtafia motini
 
Kwa kweli waganda wanakuja,hata mbuyu ulianza kama mchicha,tunaomba kauli mbiu ya kufufua viwanda na ubunifu ianze mara moja
