Spiro, a pioneering Pan-African electric mobility company, has been selected for the prestigious 2025 Regional Platforms for Climate Projects Pipeline.

This recognition highlights Spiro’s position as a leading climate leader, delivering cutting-edge solutions that accelerate Africa’s transition to a low-carbon, sustainable future.

According to a statement from the company, “This distinguished recognition highlights Spiro’s position as a leading climate leader, delivering cutting-edge, high-impact solutions that accelerate Africa’s transition to a low-carbon, sustainable future in line with the Sustainable Development Goals.”

Spiro operates a vertically integrated platform that scales electric two-wheel mobility across eight African countries. The company has deployed over 35,000 electric motorbikes, facilitated more than 20 million battery swaps, and enabled over 500 million kilometers of CO2-free travel.

As part of the RPCP Pipeline, Spiro will gain valuable exposure at prominent climate-focused events and access a broad network of global climate stakeholders to foster collaboration and amplify impact.
