November 2023, Mylerz Egypt and Shift EV announced their agreement to convert the Mylerz logistics vehicle fleet to electric vehicles using Shift EV’s electrofitting technology, after the successful pilot deployment of electrofitted vehicles in Mylerz operations.
Mylerz is a last-mile delivery and fulfillment innovation company, operates in Egypt and North Africa providing high quality and reliable last mile delivery service to ecommerce customers, prioritizing time, effort and money of their customers while delivering their products in a timely manner. Mylerz introduced fast same day delivery for the first time in Egypt, through the use of its proprietary unmatched logistics management technology to ensure transfer of parcels from one entity to the other in a window of 2 to 8 hours. With Mylerz market success, the growth of the fleet capacity while ensuring cost competitiveness and reliability is critical.
“Electrofitting means we can give our vehicles a second, electric life, while reducing our emissions and operating costs, without impacting our fleet uptime” said Samer Gharaibeh, Founder & CEO of Mylerz. “We are thrilled to pioneer the introduction of EVs in ecommerce in the Egyptian market in collaboration with Shift EV – and to extend the lifetime of our fleet while leading on total cost of ownership”.
Shift EV’s electrofitting technology uses an industrial process to convert commercial vehicles from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles using lithium ion batteries manufactured locally by Shift EV at its factory in the 6th of October city, the first in MENA. Electrofitting substantially reduces the operational costs of fleets by up to 80% compared with gasoline, as well as reducing the carbon emissions from the vehicles, thus saving the environment as well as the economy.
“Partnering with Mylerz to introduce EVs in the e-commerce market is a major milestone for Shift EV. Our strategy has always been to enter each market segment with a market leader with a strong vision and a high bar for deployment, that our technology must meet, and that’s exactly what we found in our journey with Mylerz.” said Aly Eltayeb, Cofounder & CEO of Shift EV.
Through this agreement, Mylerz and Shift EV will electrify the former’s fleet in batches over 2023 and 2024, as the fleet expands to support the growth of the e-commerce market.
