Can e-mobility battery systems be produced in-house? Yes, we can!
UEV works with its members to identify suitable energy storage solutions. In most cases, manufacturers’ requirements for shape, weight, performance and capacity can be met.
In March 2025, UEV will start its first assembly line in Kenya for a 48V sodium-ion battery box.

A single battery is already an effective solution for individual power needs. However, a large number of batteries, with the appropriate design, can become a decentralised energy storage solution to counteract the energy dependency of communities, businesses, or industry.
The economics of the energy storage system are important in combination with maximum capacity intake and power output. UEV’s IP partners can guide members in building customized containers filled with batteries that provide power.

Motorcycles are typically designed for speed and accommodate two people. The e-Rider is an exception, however, as it is an all-wheel drive scooter designed for African roads. It has high torque and can bear loads of up to 500 kg, with the capacity to tow a 350-kg trailer. This electric vehicle is a highly efficient transport solution, with one of the lowest specific price indices for its class.

This innovative vehicle is designed for inner-city traffic and is equipped with three wheels. Fleet operators such as the post office, the fishermen’s association or the bakers’ union are sought.
The box can be built as a cooling system. The tricycle runs on sodium-ion batteries, which can be easily replaced.

The “skateboard” is an individually adaptable platform that drives electric vehicles. The vehicle body can be designed according to specific requirements. Optimization of power or range is possible.
The evaluated platform includes the chassis, steering, axles and drive system. The drive system includes the motors, brakes, transmissions, batteries and control units. The control units connect all the sensors required to operate the vehicle – from the motors, through the batteries to the driver’s display.
UEV collaborates with multidisciplinary teams of engineers who are developing, testing, and certifying customized vehicle solutions for efficient mobility.

Converting a boat from a combustion engine to electric propulsion is a straightforward process: all that is required is an electric motor and a battery and off you go.
Because the kinetic energy efficiency of ICE outboard motors (12 l) have a low kinetic energy efficiency (less than 7%) in comparison to electric motors (7 kWh). UEV’s members have tested various engines on fishing boats at Lake Victoria and offer training on how to maintain or repair the engines.
From May 2025, UEV will also offer a container with 2 boats made of polyethylene, either 7.20 m or 9.20 m long.

This self-sufficient catamaran is powered by sunlight, PV modules, replaceable batteries and electric motors.
The pontoon-based catamaran consists of structural components and can be manufactured on site. All that is required is a socket wrench box and a battery-powered screwdriver. Whether it is a ferry boat or a floating hotel, this type of construction offers a range of possible applications.

The sun is an almost inexhaustible source of electricity. Suitable solutions are required to make the energy from the sun as versatile as possible for use with battery storage.
The most effective approach for entering the African market is to use a suitable unit battery that can be used for both electric vehicles and domestic purposes. This power storage device is flexible and can be used both as a stationary battery and as a modular range extender to meet people’s demand for e-mobility without range limits.
