SGA Security acquires electric vehicle fleet to cut emissions

Regional security solutions provider, SGA Security Kenya, has commenced the transition of its fossil fuel run fleet to electric.

The firm has partnered with Electric Transits Africa (ETA) to introduce electric vehicles (EVs) to its Security Alarm Response fleet.

SGA Kenya Country Manager Lucas Ndolo says the acquisition will help the firm in reducing its company’s carbon emission and strengthen its commitment sustainability.

“This collaboration with Electric Transits Africa is more than just a fleet upgrade; it is a meaningful step in our long-term goal of building a more sustainable, eco-conscious future for our business and the communities we serve,” said Ndolo.

Under the deal, ETA will provide the vehicles as well as technical support to ensure a smooth integration and performance of the EV fleet.

“We are very proud to support SGA in its ambition to reduce its climate impact and to position it as a frontrunner in sustainability. The deployment of these electric vehicles is a pilot initiative, with plans to scale in the future as part of a broader strategy to shift towards clean, energy-efficient mobility solutions across all SGA operations,” said Wout van Blommestein, ETA, Co-Founder and CEO.

SGA says by integrating electric vehicles into daily security operations, it aims to further reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lower carbon footprint and encourage innovation in green mobility within the private security sector.
