Redefining the Future of Transportation in Africa
TUMA is redefining the future of transportation in Africa. Our vision is to deliver robust, practical, and truly sustainable electric vehicles — engineered for the realities of African cities and beyond — leading a paradigm shift toward clean mobility across the continent.
Unstable power grids and the high cost/difficulty of building traditional charging stations make conventional EV adoption challenging.
High temperatures, dust, unpaved roads — most standard EVs fail to withstand these conditions.
Urban and rural areas alike demand a true mobility revolution.
High-efficiency monocrystalline solar panels integrated into the roof and hood, enabling an additional 30–50 km of daily driving range via self-generation. Advanced MPPT controllers maximize real-time solar energy yield — even on cloudy days and while driving.
Standardized battery modules allowing one-person battery swaps in under 3 minutes. RFID/IoT-based traceability maximizes safety and operational efficiency. Mobile battery stations and unmanned swap booths provide multiple ways to exchange or recharge batteries, deployable anywhere.
Aluminum frames + impact-resistant plastic bodies ensure lightweight durability. IP68-rated waterproof/dustproof inverters, motors, and battery packs. Off-road suspension, oversized tires, dual-filter air conditioning.
Every vehicle, battery, swap station, and user app is linked via a cloud-based IoT network for real-time monitoring of status, location, operations, and battery data.
AI-driven analytics detect faults in advance, optimize swap station operations, and maximize energy efficiency.
• Live battery status and optimal swap route guidance
• Battery reservation, payment, and swap history
• Remote vehicle diagnostics and emergency support
For corporates, public agencies, and transit operators — real-time fleet/battery monitoring, maintenance scheduling, and energy/cost optimization.
Data is shared with local partners and governments for public mobility, energy, and environmental policy improvements.
Each TUMA vehicle reduces CO₂ emissions by approx. 2.8 tons per year. Operating 1,000 vehicles cuts emissions by 2,800+ tons annually.
Compared to diesel vehicles, annual fuel savings per EV exceed $2,000 USD per vehicle. With solar charging, fuel costs can be "zero."
Solar panels can provide 20–40% of total driving energy; with further infrastructure expansion, targets up to 60%.
For every 100 vehicles, at least 10 new local jobs are created in swap stations, maintenance, and data operations.
TUMA increases mobility for underserved communities, reduces the urban-rural transport gap, and creates lasting social impact by merging mobility and clean energy.
"Africa does not need to follow the combustion path. It leads the world into a clean, electric, solar-powered future."
