VEHICLE engines tend to produce a lot of heat during the traffic jams, making the fore seat uncomfortable.

And since all vehicles do not have air conditioner (ACs) permanently installed, installing a vehicle fan would reduce on this heat.

According to Fred Mukasa, a seller of vehicle fans in Kiseka Market, the heat affects mainly taxi drivers because they sit in the fore seats for long hours. But even passengers in the second line of seats tend to be affected.

The mini fans operate on the power from the battery. In the vehicle, the fan is connected to a space meant for lighting cigarettes.

“Every driver can afford a mini fan,” Michael Senyonga, a driver in the New Taxi Park, says. Prices range from sh5,000 to sh20,000 depending on the make and size of the fan. Many of them are made in Japan.

They are in various colours.
