Spiro officially launched its operations in Cameroon today during a high-level ceremony at Hôtel SAWA in Douala, presided over by His Excellency the Governor of the Littoral Region, Samuel Ivaha Diboua, and attended by key government officials, diplomats, business leaders, and partners.
As a leading player in Africa’s electric mobility sector, Spiro is committed to actively supporting Cameroon’s energy transition and improving urban living conditions through clean, accessible, and innovative transportation solutions. The company aims to contribute to the government’s sustainable development objectives, combat urban pollution, and create new economic opportunities for young people.
Rahul Gaur, Managing Director of Spiro West Africa and Cameroon, shared,
"The launch of Spiro Cameroon is more than just opening a new office; it’s a statement of commitment to the people of Cameroon and their environment. We aspire to make Cameroon a regional model in green mobility."
Kaushik Burman, Chief Executive Officer of Spiro, added,
"We urge the government to prioritize electric mobility in national policy—through tax incentives, infrastructure support, and public-private partnerships. Together, we can position Cameroon as a regional leader in clean transport, improve air quality in our cities, and offer real cost savings to riders."
Beyond deploying electric vehicles and modern charging solutions, Spiro plans to create several hundred direct and indirect jobs while fostering strong partnerships with local communities, institutions, and private sector stakeholders.
This launch marks the beginning of a new chapter for sustainable mobility in Cameroon and across Central Africa, with Spiro’s long-term vision being a transformative one for African economies.
