About Metro Africa Xpress (MAX)
Metro Africa Xpress (MAX), founded in 2015, is an electric mobility platform focused on West and Central Africa. Initially a bike-hailing service, MAX has pivoted to provide a comprehensive solution for transport operators, including financing for electric vehicles (EVs), a network of battery-swapping stations, and fleet management systems with IoT. After a strategic reset in 2024 that included layoffs and tighter cost controls, the company has returned to profitability in its largest market, Nigeria. It is now focused on scaling its EV fleet and clean energy infrastructure to support 250,000 drivers by 2027.
