Yongeza manages swap-station infrastructure for electric two-wheeler OEMs and fleet operators across Uganda. We secure the sites, staff the stations, and handle every operational detail — so you can focus on deploying bikes and growing your network.
From site identification to daily operations, Yongeza manages the entire physical infrastructure layer — letting you focus exclusively on deploying bikes and growing your network.
We identify high-traffic locations evaluated on rider density, grid reliability, and lease terms — specialised local knowledge built over 50+ deployments, impossible to replicate without years on the ground.
Your bikes deploy into pre-qualified, high-utilisation locationsEvery lease is between the landlord and Yongeza — not you. Zero real-estate risk, security deposits, or administrative overhead on your balance sheet. On exit, you remove your batteries; we keep the site.
Zero balance-sheet exposure on real estateWe build out each site, staff it with trained attendants, and drive swap frequency through rider education and on-site bike sales — a ready-made distribution channel that costs you nothing upfront.
More swaps, more revenue — no ops burden on youEnergy is the largest cost driver at any swap site. We deploy telecom-heritage grid optimisation, demand management, and on-site energy generation to protect margins for both sides of the partnership.
Improved swap economics, shared cost savingsOur multi-OEM model, targeted rider acquisition, and professional station management all work together to raise swap frequency per site. Higher utilisation means better unit economics for every partner.
More revenue per station, shared across partnersYongeza operates shared swap-station infrastructure — purpose-built to serve multiple OEMs at the same site. This isn't interoperability. It's a fundamentally different infrastructure model that changes the economics of every site.
Shared infrastructure lets more swap stations be deployed in high-demand corridors than any single OEM could justify alone — shorter rider travel time, higher daily swap frequency, better revenue for every partner.
OEMs that co-locate at shared Yongeza sites receive discounted rental and energy rates. The more partners sharing infrastructure, the lower the fixed cost per OEM.
Interoperability is a technology claim. Yongeza's model is an infrastructure claim — a single physical site, professionally managed, serving multiple OEM fleets.
Indicative figures based on current network operations. Actual results vary by location and OEM fleet size.
Infrastructure costs shared. Swap revenue earned independently. Each OEM's battery data and rider relationships remain entirely theirs.
Whether you're an OEM deploying at scale or a fleet operator entering a new market, Yongeza removes the operational complexity that slows your growth and consumes your capital.
Every Yongeza site is evaluated for rider traffic, grid reliability, and lease terms before a single shilling is committed. You get a network that works from day one — not a lease negotiation that takes months.
50+ live sites validatedUptime-first is a discipline inherited from telecoms infrastructure management. Our Network Operations Centre monitors every station in real time, with field technicians dispatched the same day.
95%+ uptime across the networkWe manage grid procurement, demand load, and on-site energy generation — reducing per-swap energy costs and protecting margins across every partnership.
Energy costs actively optimisedLeases are signed by Yongeza. Station capex is ours to carry. You deploy batteries and grow swap revenue — without a single property liability on your books.
No deposits. No landlord liability.Yongeza attendants are trained to identify upgrade opportunities and generate warm bike-sales leads. Our stations are a customer touchpoint at no extra cost.
3,500+ unique EV swaps / monthLive NOC monitoring, swap-volume analytics, station-level performance, and battery-health tracking are available through API. Decisions on data, not estimates.
Every swap digitally recordedWhen mobile telecoms launched in the 1990s, every operator built their own towers. A neutral tower company stepped in to own and manage all the infrastructure — and every operator gained the freedom to scale faster.
The same structural opportunity exists in African e-mobility. Yongeza is building the infrastructure layer that every OEM needs — but none should own.
Accelerating Africa's electric-mobility revolution.
Unlock smart and sustainable mobility solutions to drive Africa into her empowered future.
We're building Africa's sustainable mobility future — one swap, one ride, one community at a time. Our values guide how we work, who we hire, and how we serve every day.
We put riders at the centre of everything — serving every customer with care, speed, and genuine respect.
We do the right thing, every time — no bribery, no exceptions, no compromises on honesty or accountability.
We set the bar high, deliver first-pass quality, and take ownership of every outcome and commitment.
We innovate boldly, embrace calculated risk, and find creative solutions built for real African conditions.
We collaborate openly, share direct feedback with respect, and achieve more together than any of us could alone.
Our growing network spans Kampala, Masaka, Mbarara, Jinja, and beyond — with new sites added as we expand across East Africa.
Our densest cluster of swap stations is in Kampala, with active sites in Masaka, Mbarara and Jinja and new locations added as we expand across Uganda.
The Yongeza founding team brings a combined 30+ years of distributed-infrastructure experience across Africa — built at leading telecom infrastructure, energy, and financial-services companies. That operational depth translates directly into how we run our swap-station network today.
