Rall_E is an initiative by TES Network that aims to showcase a collection of side events organized around the Africa Climate Action Summit to accelerate sustainable mobility across.  These events will bring together the continent’s electric mobility ecosystem and will offer a dynamic prelude to the highly anticipated Africa Climate Summit (ACS).

The Rall_E event kicked off with a  parade on September 3rd, featuring an array of electric vehicles, from bicycles and motorcycles to personal cars and buses to underscore the potential of electric mobility.

There was also an Electric Mobility Pavilion at Uhuru Park that showcased cutting-edge developments in electric mobility, bringing together academia, industry leaders, and supporting institutions. Attendees got the opportunity to explore the forefront of sustainable transportation firsthand.

More than 80 investors from across the globe convened physically and remotely to explore opportunities for investment and collaboration. In partnership with the Africa E-Mobility Alliance, this dedicated space promises to catalyze the future of sustainable mobility in Africa.

“This is a declaration of Africa’s determination to lead in the electric mobility revolution. With governments, industries, and innovators coming together, we are writing a new chapter for our continent’s sustainable future. This gathering signifies that Kenya and indeed Africa are not only ready but eager to embrace electric mobility as a path to cleaner air, economic growth, and job creation”, said Mohamed Ali, Kenya’s Special Climate Envoy
