TotalEnergies Marketing Kenya PLC has deployed 100% of its new, fully compliant transport fleet across the country, marking a major milestone in its transition toward cleaner energy distribution and safer highways.
With 161 modern, specialized heavy commercial vehicles now active on Kenyan transit corridors, the company is slashing transport emissions by an estimated 3.7 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide annually, marking a victory for the country’s green finance and climate action goals.
This transition is anchored on a major efficiency leap, with the new fleet decreasing average consumption from 5.8 to 3.5 liters per kilometer to protect public health while supporting Kenya’s climate goals. This complete modernization goes beyond environmental targets as it sets a new safety and compliance benchmark for East African logistics, showing how major energy and transport firms can overhaul heavy infrastructure to support national development.
Speaking during the unveiling of the new transport fleet, State Department for Petroleum, Principal Secretary Kello Harsama said, “The safe transport and handling of petroleum products is a shared responsibility that cannot be undertaken in isolation. Industry players must work together to build a safer, more resilient operating environment. Petroleum transport cannot be separated from safety. Safety is paramount at every stage, from storage and transit to final delivery. The ministry has embarked on a mission to strengthen compliance, innovation, and collaboration across the value chain to protect lives, infrastructure, and the environment.”
In line with this commitment to safety and regulatory compliance, TotalEnergies has also integrated advanced speed limiters calibrated strictly to Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) KS 2295:2018 guidelines, alongside next-generation driver assistance systems that alert drivers to indicate when making turns and warn when the truck is too close to vehicles ahead.
TotalEnergies Marketing Kenya PLC Managing Director, Thibault Flichy added, “This 100 percent fleet renewal represents a defining moment in our green transition and innovation. The fleet is also equipped with dual interior cameras and an AI-powered monitoring system that detects driver fatigue and distraction, automatically sending alerts to the central monitoring team for immediate intervention. For roadside safety, the vehicles feature certified steel underride barriers and high-visibility retro-reflective contour markings.”
This maximized operational efficiency guarantees a robust, uninterrupted nationwide energy supply. The modernization project demonstrates that corporate sustainability and high-yield commercial performance can seamlessly coexist with industry leadership and regulatory compliance.
