Sendy, a Kenyan logistics firm has recently unveiled its first electric vehicle in a move to tackle zero-carbon mobility. The company has collaborated with electric vehicle manufacturer ARC to put out 3-wheeler electric vehicles and 2-wheeler bikes. This e-cargo fleet is suitable for all kinds of business needs that require last-mile deliveries.
The motivation behind this, according to Sendy, is to help reduce carbon in the country.” The 3W EVs are becoming increasingly crucial in the final mile section and they will assist us in lowering delivery costs for our consumers while maintaining a clean environment. This collaboration with ARC Ride is a forward-thinking investment that will pave the way for transformation in Kenya’s last-mile delivery”, Mesh Alloys, Sendy’s founder and CEO said to TechPoint Africa.

Sendy, established in 2014, specializes in logistics, deliveries, courier, packages, food delivery, e-commerce, mobile apps and on-demand courier solutions and is headquartered in Kenya with gradual expansions across the country and East African borders.
These 3-wheeler electric vehicles, popularly referred to as electric tuk-tuks, is being used by the company as a result of the expensive cost of maintaining large electric costs or minivans. Other companies such as Uber, Bolt, Meta Group, etc have also in the past launched the likes of electric tuk-tuks, electric Boda Bodas, commercial delivery vans etc in Kenya aimed at reducing their carbon footprint and enabling environmentally conscious ways for transportation.
