Electric bus assembler BasiGo has doubled its monthly assembly output to 20 buses after raising Sh5.4 billion last year, as it moves to clear a growing backlog of over 500 undelivered orders.

The company says most of the newly raised funds were channeled into capital expenditure, including purchasing assembly kits, tools, and setting up charging depots. The remainder was used to hire workers to scale up production.
