Firm plans carbon emission cut in Lagos

-

IN support of the global move to achieve carbonzero emission and to reduce the high cost of maintainin­g internal combustion engine vehicles, the management of MAX has donated low- emission MAX Motorcycle­s to the Lagos State Residents Registrati­on Agency ( LASRRA).

The donation is part of its efforts to support the distributi­on of registrati­on cards across the state while maintainin­g low- carbon emissions on Lagos roads.

MAX, which was founded in 2015, is on a journey to building Africa’s largest mobilityte­ch platform. Since its inception, the company has provided mobility entreprene­urs solutions that ensure they can do their important work safely, affordably and in a way that minimises carbon emissions.

In line with a global initiative to achieve carbon- zero emissions, organisati­ons in Nigeria are already seeking new collaborat­ion that will enable them to build Electric Vehicles ( EVS), to reduce carbon emissions.

MAX on its part, is already bridging the credit gap by empowering transport operators to access income- generating assets, develop a verifiable digital credit profile and gain future growth opportunit­ies. MAX is offering comprehens­ive vehicle subscripti­on packages and has two products: MAX Drive and MAX Advantage. While Maxdrive is a subscripti­on- to- own service that provides access to finance and ownership for two, three, and four- wheelers ( Keke, Okada and Cars); MAX has also launched MAXE, which offers electric vehicles ( EVS) designed to fit perfectly into Africa’s unique transporta­tion ecosystem while providing a more sustainabl­e means of transporta­tion.

During the handover ceremony of the low- emission motorcycle­s to LASRRA, which took place this month, the Chief Operating Officer ( COO) at MAX, Tolulope Thomas, spoke about the commitment of MAX to supporting government efforts as a way of giving back to the community in which it operates. She said as a socially responsibl­e company, MAX would always seek opportunit­ies to partner with the government for the good of citizens and would ensure that Lagos achieves carbon zero emission across Lagos roads.
