Roam [@roamelectric] and Keep It Cool [@keepitcoolapp] have launched Africa’s first fully electric cold-chain in Kenya.
Starting with five Roam Air e-motorcycles, the system moves 250,000 kg of food weekly using solar-powered storage and clean transport, cutting emissions and food waste while boosting rural incomes.
