Use of Proceeds / Loan purpose

With a EUR 165,000 inventory facility, Roam will be able to increase delivery of the newly launched electric motorcycle Roam Air for motorcycle taxi entrepreneurs in Kenya. This facility will enable a large group of low income earners to faster access this product which in turn can increase their daily savings by more than 50%. The Roam Air is locally assembled and can be charged in private or public electricity outlets or used with swappable rental batteries, some of which will be operated by the company. Roam already has signed contracts with asset finance companies and distributors that will onboard the drivers and offer them a pay as you go solution over 12 to 18 months so they can start saving from day one.

Učinek

Roam s svojimi lokalno zasnovanimi in izdelanimi električnimi motocikli in avtobusi vodi prehod na električna vozila v Afriki. Z odstranitvijo bencinskega motornega kolesa s ceste in uvedbo električnega motornega kolesa se lahko izravna kar 1,67 tone CO2 na motorno kolo na leto, izračunano na podlagi povprečnega načina vožnje taksistov z motornimi kolesi v Nairobiju v Keniji. Ocenjuje se, da bi kumulativni okoljski vpliv Roam v naslednjih petih letih za vse njihove izdelke ( >1 milijon ton CO2 do leta 2026) predstavljal 2 % kenijskega cilja zmanjšanja emisij toplogrednih plinov do leta 2030.

Podjetje zaposluje 100 ljudi, od tega je 40 % žensk. Poleg tega Roam pričakuje, da bo do leta 2024 na trgu ustvarilo več kot 2.000 neposrednih in posrednih delovnih mest. Dostopnost električnih motornih koles rešuje težavo za veliko skupino mladih voznikov taksijev z motornimi kolesi. Ti podjetniki so običajno osebe z nizkimi dohodki, ki se spopadajo z naraščajočimi cenami bencina in vse večjo brezposelnostjo. Storitve, ki jih ponuja spletna stran Roam, omogočajo voznikom, da začnejo varčevati že prvi dan in povečajo svoj prihodek za 50 %.
