VOO has teamed up with Blu EV to launch Egypt’s first electric delivery motorcycles.

Riders swap batteries at Blu EV stations, saving time and reducing CO₂ emissions.

The partnership began in March 2025 and now runs over 140 bikes, covering 250,000 km.

VOO aims to fully electrify its fleet by 2026 and lead sustainable delivery services.

Blu EV plans to expand battery-swapping stations across Egypt by 2026.

It’s not every day you see a delivery app in Egypt make a serious dent in the sustainability conversation, but VOO seems determined to do just that. The company has teamed up with Blu EV, one of the early movers in the country’s e‑mobility scene, to roll out what they’re calling Egypt’s first eco‑friendly fleet of electric delivery motorcycles. And believe it or not, the whole system runs on battery‑swapping—no messy charging cables, no waiting around.

The basic idea is simple enough: riders stop at a Blu EV station, swap their empty battery for a full one in under a minute, and head straight back on the road. From what I’ve seen in other markets, anything that saves couriers time is spot on, especially in quick‑commerce where every minute counts. Blu EV says the approach cuts down running costs, slashes CO₂ emissions, and even helps avoid the usual motorbike racket that tends to annoy residential neighbourhoods.

The pilot started quietly back in March 2025 in Sheikh Zayed with just seven bikes. By June, the partnership stretched all the way to El Gouna, and then to six more zones in September. Now they’re running more than 140 Blu EV‑powered bikes, clocking a combined 250,000 kilometres and saving upwards of 25,000 kilograms of emissions along the way. As someone who’s spent plenty of late nights chatting with founders through Arageek’s ecosystem events, I reckon these kinds of numbers always perk up the ears of investors hunting for impact‑driven growth.

VOO’s CEO, Omar Abou Zaid, said the company is “proud to be among the first” to take electric delivery mainstream in Egypt. He added that VOO now runs the country’s largest electric fleet and was the first to license e‑motorcycles in Giza Governorate. On the flip side, Blu EV’s CEO, Rida Baalbaki, highlighted how the partnership pushes electric mobility deeper into the delivery sector, helping cut back on noise and emissions—two things cities never seem to get right without a bit of a faff.

Both sides want the entire VOO fleet electrified by 2026. If they pull it off, it would make VOO the first fully clean‑energy delivery service in Egypt, which is a bold claim but not imposible considering how quickly the network is expanding. And well… I mean, in a region where logistics startups constantly chase speed over sustainability, it's refreshing to see one trying to blend the two without overhyping the tech.

VOO itself has come a long way since launching in 2019. The company built its name on getting everyday essentials—ice, snacks, energy drinks, the usual late‑night cravings—to people within minutes across Cairo, Giza, Gouna, and the North Coast in summer. Blu EV, meanwhile, keeps growing its battery‑swapping footprint, now present in eight cities with plans to cover the whole of Egypt by 2026.

If this momentum holds, Egypt’s delivery scene might look very different in a couple of years. And honestly, I’d be chuffed to bits to see more startups in the region follow suit.
