Why Investing

1
Pioneering Electric Vehicle Adoption
Investing in this initiative provides a unique opportunity to be part of a groundbreaking effort to drive Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption in the E-hailing sector in South Africa. By supporting the transition to eco-friendly transportation, investors contribute to reversing the environmental impact and promote a sustainable future, positioning themselves at the forefront of a transformative industry shift.
2
Economic Empowerment for Women
Investors can play a crucial role in economically empowering women by supporting this initiative. The adoption of EVs in the E-hailing sector creates new economic opportunities for women, enabling them to become independently economically mobile. This not only fosters gender equality but also reduces vulnerability to Gender-based Violence, making a meaningful and positive impact on both social and economic fronts.
3
Just Transformation and Micro-franchise Ownership
Investing in the transformation of the e-hailing sector towards a more just and equitable model is an investment in social responsibility. The implementation of a micro-franchise ownership model ensures that drivers have a stake in the business, fostering dignified livelihood opportunities. This inclusive approach not only benefits individual drivers but also contributes to the overall socioeconomic development of communities, making it a socially conscious and sustainable investment.
