MAX Moves to Minimise Carbon Emission in Lagos

-

In support of the global move to achieve carbon zero 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 lowcarbon emission on Lagos roads.

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

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

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-toown 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 towards of the good of citizens, and would ensure that Lagos achieves carbon zero emission across Lagos roads.

Also present at the handover ceremony was the General Manager of LASRRA, Mrs. Adebiyi-Abiola Bilikiss, who expressed her excitement about the donation and how it will greatly facilitate the distributi­on of the cards.

Head, Government Relations at MAX, Deji Sobowale, expressed his pleasure stating that such gestures are important for an organisati­on in building the communitie­s in which it operates, as well as fostering an amicable relationsh­ip between both organisati­ons.
