Cairo – 26 November 2025:
In a major step toward more sustainable and innovative delivery solutions, VOO – a mart-in-an-app, Egypt’s leading instant delivery platform for daily essentials, announced its partnership with Blu EV, Egypt’s pioneering provider of e-mobility solutions, to launch an eco-friendly delivery system powered by smart battery-swapping electric motorcycles.
Green mobility
This partnership aims to redefine the concept of quick commerce in Egypt by combining advanced technology with green mobility, enhancing operational efficiency while reducing the environmental impact of traditional delivery methods.
Battery swapping
Blu EV’s battery-swapping system allows riders to replace depleted batteries with fully charged ones in less than 60 seconds, ensuring uninterrupted delivery operations with lower running costs, reduced carbon emissions, and significantly less noise compared to conventional motorcycles.
The pilot phase began in March 2025 in Sheikh Zayed with 7 electric bikes, and expanded in June to cover El Gouna, followed by six additional zones in September. Today, the system includes over 140 Blu EV-powered electric motorcycles, which have covered more than 250,000 kilometers, saving over 25,000 kilograms of CO₂ emissions, and helping reduce noise pollution in residential areas.
VOO statement
Omar Abou Zaid, CEO of VOO, said: “We are proud to be among the first companies in Egypt to adopt electric delivery solutions. With this partnership, we now proudly own the largest electric delivery fleet in Egypt, continuing to lead the way as the first company to license electric motorcycles in Giza Governorate. This initiative marks an important step toward a more sustainable future, aligning perfectly with our vision to provide a fast, convenient, and environmentally friendly delivery experience.”
Blu EV statement
Rida Baalbaki, CEO of Blu EV, added; “We are delighted to collaborate with VOO to expand the use of our smart battery-swapping solutions in the delivery sector. This partnership highlights the growing role of electric mobility in supporting sustainability goals, reducing emissions and noise, and advancing Egypt’s logistics industry.”
Both companies aim to fully electrify VOO’s delivery fleet by 2026, making it Egypt’s first delivery service operating entirely on clean energy—a testament to their shared commitment to innovation, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
