The visit was part of the conference organised by Energy Private Developers (EPD), an association that brings together private-sector stakeholders operating in Rwanda’s energy industry.
The delegation included participants from several countries, including China, Burkina Faso and Nigeria. Their visit began at Spiro’s motorcycle assembly plant in Masoro, where they were introduced to the company’s electric motorcycle assembly process and broader operations.
The delegates later visited Spiro’s Mega Station at Kimironko–Makita, where they learned about the technology used to facilitate battery swapping and monitor battery performance and usage across the network.
The visit gave participants a closer look at Spiro’s integrated electric mobility ecosystem, which brings together motorcycle assembly, battery-swapping infrastructure, equipment maintenance and technology-driven operations management.
Fredy Shema, Spiro’s Operations Manager, said the visit by international delegates reflected growing confidence in the company’s work and its contribution to the development of Rwanda’s electric mobility sector.
“Hosting this delegation shows that our work is gaining greater recognition and trust. When we look at where we started and how far we have come, it motivates us to continue improving our operations and increasing productivity,” he said.
The delegates also had an opportunity to engage with Spiro employees, ask questions and exchange views on electric motorcycle technology, battery performance and the role of sustainable transport in reducing emissions.
Spiro has so far deployed more than 36,461 electric motorcycles and continues to expand its battery-swapping network, making its services more accessible and convenient for riders.
The company has also contributed significantly to job creation, employing more than 2,342 people. Women currently represent 38% of its workforce, and Spiro aims to increase this figure to 45%.
