Who are Our Partners and their roles
UNEP: VDB Automotive Technologies Ltd. have collaborated with the Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles https://www.unep.org/to ensure cleaner fuels that allow vehicle emissions control systems to function properly are introduced to the African continent, having succeeded we then embarked on introducing cleaner vehicles through pushing policies such as tail pipe emissions testing and CO2 labelling based taxation.
VAI Capital: with a focus on enabling corporate vehicle fleets to transition to electric mobility, VAI Capital https://vai.capital/ partnered with VBD Automotive Technologies Ltd. to engage with corporate vehicle fleet owners in the region and commence the capacity building necessary within the institutions to commence the transition of their vehicle fleets to run on electric power with synergies on solar PV electricity to power the fleets and substantially reduce transport related operational expenditure. This also allows the corporate institutions to leverage on their reduced carbon footprint for favourable markets.
