Motorboat company launches electric fishing boats on Lake Victoria

A start-up based in Kenya, known as Asobo, is offering replacement electric engines which come at a lower cost and are more environmentally friendly.

Tens of thousands of fishing boats head out on Kenya’s Lake Victoria every day, powered by expensive, unreliable, and polluting petrol engines.

ASOBO’s goal is to massively reduce the negative impact of fuel emissions on Lake Victoria in East Africa, the world’s second-largest freshwater lake.
