In the spirit of our mission, Emergi also conducted a detailed study of the urban transport market in Liberia. In doing so, we have documented overwhelming evidence to support the introduction of an improved, electric, light vehicle. Innovating both on the cost of ownership and driver experience, this EV provides a better value proposition for the driver/owner and increases the opportunity to climb the socio-economic ladder while decreasing the carbon footprint.
"We spoke with kekeh mechanics, kekeh drivers, kekeh owners -no payment pending, kekeh owners -payment pending, kekeh sales managers,kekeh service managers and kekeh country managers in Liberia"
At Emergi we want to make sustainable innovations available for everyone and these innovations should always respond to needs on the ground. This is why, at Emergi, we co-create our products together with potential users and our customers. Therefore, we conducted a two-month research mission in Liberia to understand their needs and wishes while developing a small urban vehicle. In this mission our researchers talked to dozens of kekeh drivers, renewable energy actors, kekeh sellers and other stakeholders. This research mission culminated in a 3-day design-thinking workshop. For this workshop we invited Liberians from the renewable energy sector, transportation sector and others who showed huge enthusiasm for our project. We presented them with the 5 overarching challenges we identified in the market research.
In the two days of design thinking workshop the group came up with incredible solutions and ideas that will guide us in designing the ideal sustainable urban vehicle for Liberia and the wider West African market.
Leandra Stolk, a graphic designer, supporting the Emergi team for these two days captured the design challenge in a fantastic visualisation.
Because we want to introduce a more sustainable means of transport!

Emergi is launching a crowd-funding campaign to introduce 3 electric kekehs with mobile payment and female drivers, to support closing the gender gap in the Liberia transportation sector. The E-Kekeh's will sport innovations to improve profitability for the driver such as camera's, PV, courier services and charging possibilities. The strongest innovative solutions will be incorporated into a business model and rolled out on a larger scale.
