Founded in 2025, Sunny Tuktuk brings German-engineered electric vehicle technology adapted specifically for African conditions to Kenya's coastal region. Our electric Tuk-tuks were developed in Tanzania by a German engineer and modified to withstand local conditions while delivering superior performance.

There is nothing new or spectacular about electric Tuk-tuks. The technology of our Sunny Tuk-tuks has been developed in Tanzania by a German engineer and is adapted to African conditions.

The most obvious difference between combustion engine and electric Tuk-tuks is ecological and economical. Combustion engines use around 4 litres of diesel or petrol per 100 km, and they produce considerable and annoying noise and smell. The cost of fuel to cover 100k (incl. lubricants) is approx. 800 KES, compared to 150 KES for charging a Tuktuk battery (zero KES if you charge at one of the Sunny network stations).

Despite these advantages, many drivers haven't switched to electric Tuk-tuks because of higher upfront costs and concerns about battery life and charging infrastructure. That's where Sunny Tuktuk comes in - providing comprehensive management to make electric Tuk-tuks a viable and profitable option.

We aim to transform public transportation in coastal Kenya with a managed fleet of 1,000 electric Tuk-tuks by 2027, starting with our pilot program of 25 vehicles in 2025, expanding to 100 by 2025.

An estimated number of 10,000 Tuk-tuks operate between Malindi and Lungalunga. Around 5 million people live on the Coast, and if only 5% of those need public transport daily, a lot more vehicles would be required. We counted the number of Tuk-tuks passing the Ukunda junction within 15 minutes and the result was more than 500.

At Sunny Tuktuk, we understand that the transition to electric vehicles requires more than just technology—it needs comprehensive management. We provide:

• Regular maintenance and servicing to extend vehicle lifespan beyond 5 years
• A network of charging stations, including solar-powered options
• Spare vehicle availability to ensure continuous service
• Professional driver training and standards
• GPS monitoring for all vehicles with remote shutdown capability
