{UAH} Made In Africa: Three Cars Designed And Manufactured In Africa - Forbes

Kiira Motors Corporation, Uganda

Originally developed by students from Uganda's Makerere University for a project headed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the sedan hybrid electric vehicle called the Kiira EV SMACK was designed for the region, local terrain and consumers' ability to afford the car. The five-seater sedan is powered by a rechargeable battery and also has an internal combustion engine-based generator which charges the battery. The first commercial vehicle from this line is expected to rollout in 2018
