Ugandans will get a firsthand experience of the country’s growing electric mobility revolution during the upcoming Uganda OffGrid & Roadway Festival (UORF) 2026, organizers have said.
The festival, which will bring together innovators, energy companies, transport players and the public, is expected to showcase how electric transport technologies are gradually reshaping Uganda’s mobility sector.
Visitors attending the event will witness demonstrations of electric motorcycles, electric bicycles and other clean transport solutions increasingly being adopted across the country.
Organizers say the exhibition is aimed at increasing public awareness about sustainable transport technologies and their economic and environmental benefits.
Among the key areas of focus will be electric motorcycles, battery charging and swapping systems, cost-saving opportunities for riders, and business opportunities emerging within the electric mobility ecosystem.
Industry players note that rising fuel prices and increasing transport costs are driving interest in electric mobility solutions, especially among commercial motorcycle riders commonly known as boda boda operators.
The festival will also highlight how battery swapping technology is helping reduce charging downtime for riders while improving operational efficiency.
According to organizers, electric motorcycles are becoming more attractive because of lower maintenance costs, reduced fuel expenses and cleaner energy use compared to conventional fuel-powered motorcycles.
Environmental experts say wider adoption of electric mobility could help reduce carbon emissions, air pollution and noise pollution in urban centres.
The event is additionally expected to create networking opportunities for entrepreneurs, investors and businesses interested in Uganda’s emerging clean transport market.
Organizers believe the festival will provide a platform for public education and practical engagement with technologies that are expected to play a major role in Uganda’s future transport system.
The Uganda OffGrid & Roadway Festival 2026 will also feature exhibitions on solar power systems, battery storage technologies, charging infrastructure and other offgrid energy solutions aimed at promoting sustainable development and energy access.
