Episode 149 with Yuma Sasaki, CEO and founder of Dodai, a groundbreaking e-mobility firm revolutionising transportation in East Africa.
Based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Dodai Manufacturing PLC is assembling and selling high-speed, affordable electric motorcycles equipped with long-lasting lithium batteries. Yuma shares how Dodai is making e-mobility accessible for everyone in Africa, helping commuters escape traffic jams, cut fuel costs, and embrace a more sustainable future.

  • The strategic and personal reasons why Yuma chose Ethiopia as a base of operations
  • Valuable lessons learnt during his time at Uber and how they influenced the founding and operational strategies of Dodai
  • Strategies Yuma has used to drive awareness about the EV market in Ethiopia
  • The impact of affordable electric two-wheelers on urban transportation in Addis Ababa, including addressing traffic congestion and reducing emissions
  • Exploring if Dodai's long-term vision is exclusively on e-mobility or expanding to include the development of broader EV infrastructure in Ethiopia
