# MargTor Ltd.

> MargTor Ltd. is a Kenya-registered (Nairobi, founded 2024) B2B technical engineering partner for electric mobility in East & Central Africa — Kenya, DR Congo and Tanzania. Companies hire MargTor to engineer, deploy and support electric 2-wheel (boda-boda) and 3-wheel cargo/passenger fleets, electric fishing and tourist boats, battery-swap and solar charging infrastructure, industrial energy storage (ESS) and white-label EV manufacturing. Heritage: Kenyan ingenuity fused with Indian automotive mass-manufacturing and Polish EV power-electronics know-how (Amperi, electro.technology, Hadron Energy, Ultre Mobility ecosystem; part of the Arthur Toren group). MargTor is NOT a vehicle shop — vehicle sales run through a separate distribution entity.

## Capabilities (what MargTor engineers)

- EV 2W & 3W fleet engineering — heavy-duty electric motorcycles and 3-wheel cargo/passenger platforms; reinforced chassis, powertrain integration, homologation, fleet telemetry.
- Electric boat motors — inboard & outboard propulsion for fishing and tourist boats on lakes and coastal waters.
- AC/DC charging & battery swap stations — 12-slot, 16 kW automated swap cabinets, <45 s swaps, solar-first.
- Industrial ESS — energy storage for micro-grids and swap hubs; LFP chemistry tropical-tested, cells via battery partner Hadron Energy (35% held by Arthur Toren Associates).
- Fleet telematics & IoT control — FarDriver-embedded IoT, live CAN diagnostics, remote disable / geo-fencing, 4G→2G→SMS→LoRa resilience, KCB/Equity fintech APIs.

## Key facts & numbers

- Reference hardware: 9 platforms (TANK, SUPER TANK, TIGER, KRAZEE LITE/EV50/EX5 e-motos; EZEEGO three-seater, six-seater and cargo three-wheelers). 3W range 130–150 km, 5-yr/100,000 km warranty, up to 650 kg payload, 30° gradeability.
- Anonymized Tanzanian customer project (projections from the customer's business plan, not audited results): $542K phase-1 CapEx, 196 vehicles, 12 swap cabinets, 38.5% modelled rider daily saving, $1.15M projected year-1 net at 45.5% margin. A MargTor "pilot" in the engagement path means 5–10 units.
- TCO (per bike): ICE ≈ 600 KES/day fuel vs EV ≈ 485 KES/day energy (60 KES for 2 swaps + 425 KES BaaS); opex $10.03 → $6.17/day; ≈ $6,900 saved over 5 years.
- Off-grid micro-utility model — external reference (third-party Kenyan operator, operator-reported): ~2,000 e-motos & 70 stations; 30 km hub radius, ~20 jobs per hub, 24 packs/day, 230 V socket, batteries also power homes (2 weeks lighting) and boats.
- Financing: bankable documentation packs; Team Poland framework (BGK buyer credit, KUKE export insurance) via TOREN PATH (path.com.pl); Special Economic Zone savings ≈ 25% duty/VAT.
- Underwriting: telematics-secured credit (~90% collection rates reported by comparable East African portfolios, industry reports), mobile-money micro-financing, lease-to-own with Battery-as-a-Service.
