The 2026 Africa E-Mobility Week & Forum (AEW2026) was recently held in Cape Town, South Africa. TAILG, an electric mobility company, participated in the event and introduced its "Green Ride Africa" strategic framework to African government representatives, international organizations, investors, and local innovation enterprises. This framework aims to support Africa's transition to low-carbon mobility. TAILG also showcased various electric two- and three-wheelers at the event.
In African markets, factors such as vehicle reliability, energy replenishment efficiency, and operating costs significantly influence the adoption of electric mobility. Based on local needs and practical experience, TAILG continues to explore green mobility solutions for Africa. The company's "Green Ride Africa" action framework focuses on energy infrastructure, industrial capacity, and innovation ecosystem development. This initiative seeks to promote local assembly, certification, industry standards development, and battery recycling.
At the exhibition, TAILG presented several models, including the TK90, F55, F51, and JINFU. The TK90, designed for commercial applications, features a 3,500W motor, a top speed of 85 km/h, and a maximum range of 100 km. Its battery-swapping solution can help reduce operating costs by approximately 20-30%. This solution is expected to make electric mobility more viable for businesses and individuals in Africa.
TAILG President Michael Yao emphasized that achieving large-scale electric mobility development in Africa requires more than just vehicle growth. It also necessitates the development of local technology, talent, services, and industrial capabilities. TAILG is working with African partners to explore development paths suited to local needs. The company has been developing its presence in Africa's electric mobility sector since 2019.
In 2021, TAILG completed the assembly of its first batch of electric motorcycles in Kenya. In 2024, the company launched the TK90 in Ghana. This expansion into African markets demonstrates TAILG's commitment to supporting the continent's transition to low-carbon mobility. The company recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the United Nations Development Programme to jointly support the development of the Green Mobility Centre of Excellence.
The Green Mobility Centre of Excellence aims to promote green mobility solutions and support the development of local ecosystems. This partnership with the United Nations Development Programme will help TAILG advance its goals in Africa. The company will continue to share its experience and promote proven solutions with more African partners.
TAILG is an electric mobility technology company specializing in the research, development, manufacturing, and sales of electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers. The company also provides charging and battery-swapping related services, delivering green mobility solutions for global markets. With its presence in Africa and partnerships with local organizations, TAILG is poised to play a significant role in shaping the continent's electric mobility sector.
