ABOUT JJD AUTOS
BUILDING THE ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR AFRICA'S ELECTRIC MOBILITY FUTURE
JJD Autos is the project-facing platform for an African electric mobility and energy infrastructure initiative under HyGrid Africa. The project focuses on developing integrated infrastructure combining EV charging, heavy-duty battery swapping, solar generation, commercial energy storage and digital mobility services.
The flagship vision is a solar-powered EV corridor connecting Mombasa to Lubumbashi across approximately 2,600 km.
OUR VISION
FROM DIESEL CORRIDORS TO ELECTRIC LOGISTICS NETWORKS
THE CHALLENGE
Long-distance freight across the region is heavily dependent on diesel. Remote sections of major transport corridors can also face limited or unreliable grid infrastructure.
THE PROPOSED RESPONSE
HyGrid Africa proposes strategically located solar-powered energy hubs that combine renewable generation, energy storage, fast charging and battery swapping to support electric freight.
