Metro Africa Xpress

MAX (Metro Africa Xpress) is Africa's largest mobility-tech platform, providing commercial and gig drivers with vehicle subscriptions, electric vehicle financing, battery swapping, and fleet management services. Founded in 2015 in Lagos, Nigeria, MAX uses proprietary technology to connect independent drivers to ride-hailing and last-mile delivery businesses across Africa. The company has expanded to provide sustainable mobility infrastructure including EV adoption programs and driver income support. MAX has raised over $100 million in funding and operates across multiple African countries, though it faced headwinds in 2025 with a reported 30% workforce reduction.
