Simba Automotives, a leading name in the automobile industry, has pledged its continued support to Uganda’s Boda Boda industry, emphasizing its critical role in creating employment and enhancing transportation. Speaking at the unveiling of the National Boda Boda Stage Development Model held at Serena Hotel, Kampala, the company’s CEO, Chitwan Dogra,

reiterated the company’s commitment to empowering the Boda Boda community through affordable, high-quality motorcycles, training programs, and after-sales support.

The National Boda Boda Stage Development Model, launched by the United Boda Boda Riders’ Cooperative Union, aims to create a unified and organized framework for riders across Uganda. Chitwan Dogra praised the initiative, describing it as a significant step toward professionalizing the sector.

“This model is an eye-opener for the Union, making it very uniform for all riders across the country under one umbrella,” Dogra remarked. “We can’t neglect Boda Boda as they have been one of our backbones in terms of employment. To support them, we have to train them in a good way of being on the road. The Boda Boda fraternity is very big, and Simba Automotives is proud to be associated with them.”

Dogra also pledged Simba Automotives’ full support for the initiative, promising to supply durable and reliable motorbikes tailored to the needs of Boda Boda riders.

The company’s wide network of 65 branches across Uganda ensures that riders can access after-sales support and spare parts conveniently.
