The Largest Fleet Retrofit Project in the World

Zeronox and the Jospong Group have partnered to execute the world’s largest fleet retrofit electrification project, transforming 1,000 internal combustion engine (ICE) refuse trucks in Ghana into zero-emission vehicles using the proprietary Electric Powertrain Platform (ZEPP). With an initial pilot phase complete, the project is now entering mass deployment. The transformation delivers massive carbon reductions (~400,000 metric tons of CO₂ abated), ~$300 million in projected savings, and a payback period of under three years. This groundbreaking initiative highlights the viability of electrification in emerging markets and sets a model for scalable, sustainable fleet transformation in Africa and beyond.
