Kenya Treasury tenders for 600 electric and hybrid vehicles plus 70 DC fast chargers under government leasing programme
By Eve
The Kenyan Treasury has issued open national tenders to lease a minimum of 600 electric and hybrid vehicles for deployment across government agencies, including the National Police Service, Kenya Prisons Service and various ministries. The fleet will include electric 4x2 and 4x4 passenger utility vehicles, double cab electric pickups and hybrid units for on and off road use. A separate tender covers roughly 70 DC fast chargers to support the rollout across government installations, with submissions handled through the new eGP system.
Why it matters: This marks one of Kenya's largest public sector EV procurements to date, creating immediate demand for both vehicle supply and charging infrastructure at scale. The coordinated tender for 70 DC fast chargers signals that government sites will require rapid deployment of charging hardware, opening opportunities for equipment suppliers and installation contractors familiar with public sector tendering.
