In a significant move towards promoting sustainable transportation and reducing carbon emissions in Nigeria, EcoKada has announced its participation in QFN-CCC’s pioneering E-Mobility Carbon Credit program. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in the country’s journey towards embracing electric vehicles (EVs) and leveraging international carbon markets to drive environmental and economic benefits.
A Strategic Partnership for Sustainable Growth
EcoKada, a key player in Nigeria’s logistics sector, has been at the forefront of adopting eco-friendly solutions for last-mile delivery services. The company has been conducting trial operations with electric motorbikes provided by its OEM partner, Bob Eco, and is now set to deploy a large-scale fleet of these vehicles in the bustling Lagos metropolis.
Uchenna Njoku Managing Director at EcoKada, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “We have been running trial operations with the e-motorbikes of our OEM partner Bob Eco for some time and are now working on the deployment of a large-scale fleet in the Lagos metropolis. This will enable us to service our clients with a cheap and reliable solution for all their last-mile logistics needs with silent and emissions-free bikes.”
By joining QFN-CCC’s program, EcoKada is not only committing to a greener future but also unlocking new revenue streams through the generation of carbon credits. This strategic move will allow EcoKada to offer competitive pricing to its customers while expanding its geographical coverage to service new urban areas across Nigeria.
Harnessing the Power of Carbon Credits
The partnership with QFN-CCC’s e-mobility carbon credit program is designed to maximize the environmental and financial benefits of EcoKada’s transition to electric vehicles. Here’s how:
1.Carbon Credit Generation:
For every kilometre driven by EcoKada’s fleet of electric two-wheelers, the company will generate carbon credits. These credits represent the emissions avoided by using EVs instead of traditional fossil fuel-powered vehicles. By participating in QFN-CCC’s program, EcoKada can monetize these credits, creating an additional revenue stream.
2.Supporting Global Sustainability Goals:
The carbon credits generated by EcoKada will contribute to global sustainability projects, supporting initiatives that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote renewable energy. This aligns with QFN-CCC’s vision of creating a positive environmental impact beyond Nigeria’s borders.
3.Driving E-Mobility Adoption:
By demonstrating the financial viability of e-mobility through carbon credit generation, EcoKada’s participation in the program will encourage other businesses in Nigeria to adopt electric vehicles. This ripple effect is crucial for accelerating the transition to sustainable transportation and reducing the country’s carbon footprint.
