Business Sweden is leading infrastructure initiatives in West Africa aimed at improving public transport. In Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, a feasibility study identified a bus rapid transit (BRT) system powered by biofuel from agricultural waste as sustainable.

Scania will deliver 450 biodiesel-compatible buses, supported by financing from the World Bank and African Development Bank. A similar model is being implemented in Lagos, Nigeria, where a study confirmed biogas buses are suitable, using municipal waste as energy. An agreement for 2,000 biogas buses was concluded in spring 2025.
