Why it matters

Cleaner air protects our children.

Air pollution is a public-health emergency. Monitoring at Kigali schools has recorded particulate matter between 25 and 175 µg/m³, and globally air pollution was linked to 709,000 child deaths in 2021. Every vehicle we inspect is a step toward cleaner air and safer roads.

  • Real-time emission detection aligned to proper set standards
  • Harmful pollutants identified and reduced at the source
  • Roadworthiness checks that prevent avoidable accidents
  • A continental first: motorbikes now in emissions testing
