Founding & Pilot
Rideence Africa Limited established in Nairobi as Garden Real Group's new-energy subsidiary. First EV pilot operations launch.
Kenya's first localized all-domain electric transportation solution provider — building the rails that African electric mobility will run on for decades.
Rideence Africa Limited is part of Garden Real Group — the group’s core new-energy mobility arm. The group has operated in African markets for over a decade, with deep local government-commercial networks and end-to-end project delivery capability.
We are not a traditional vehicle seller. We build and operate the mobility infrastructure that lets partners scale profitably — from ride-hailing and matatu transit to urban logistics, from DC fast-charging to local CKD assembly, a closed-loop ecosystem across the full EV value chain.
Our mission: make electric mobility profitable, replicable and locally rooted across Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda for the long term.
Headquartered in Nairobi, with active operations across Kenya and regional JV expansion into Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.

Rideence is deeply aligned with Kenya's 2030 national EV adoption mandate. We work directly with KOTDA, KPLC, the Kenya Investment Authority and county governments to drive electrification.
Our after-sales system covers workshops, mobile service units, insurance, financing and carbon-credit monetisation — vehicle downtime is the enemy of fleet economics, and we own it end-to-end.
The China-Africa finance bridge connects Chinese capital and OEM supply with Kenyan operating demand — lowering the barrier for every African operator to go electric.
