A Partnership for Africa's
Mobility Revolution
Business & Financial Plan for Partners and Suppliers
Our Vision: A New Era of African Mobility
We are building Africa's first fully integrated, solar-powered electric bus network. Starting in Mbuji-Mayi, we are creating a scalable, sustainable, and profitable smart mobility platform. This project serves as a foundation for national transformation through modern urban transport, job creation, and climate resilience.

A City in Motion, An Opportunity Unmatched
Mbuji-Mayi, DRC's 4th largest city, has no formal public transit for its 3.5 million residents. 2 million daily commuters rely on unsafe, unregulated, and expensive transport. This represents one of Africa's last major untapped urban mobility markets.
Smart, Sustainable, Scalable Mobility
Scalable Infrastructure
Building a replicable, asset-backed model for rapid expansion into other African urban centers.
Energy Arbitrage
Leveraging low-cost solar to power the fleet, creating a significant competitive and margin advantage.
Strong ESG Mandate
A highly attractive ESG investment, decarbonizing transport and empowering communities.
Proprietary Technology
Our tech platform optimizes routes, payments, and operations, ensuring efficiency and capturing valuable data.
Financial & Growth Projections
Our model projects strong growth in ridership and revenue, with profitability achieved early in the operational timeline.

Diversified Revenue Model
Primary: Farebox Revenue
Based on a flat $0.50 fare, scaling from $6.13M in 2026 to $219M by 2030.
Ancillary: Non-Fare Revenue
High-margin income from advertising, retail kiosks, parcel logistics, and data monetization, adding ~$30M by 2030.
Exceeding Market Benchmarks
Our conservative projections for Kasai Vert (1.2M daily riders by 2030) significantly surpass existing major African Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems, driven by affordability and first-mover advantage.
Expansion: Nationwide & Pan-African
National Rollout (2028-2036)
Phased expansion to key economic hubs like Kinshasa and Lubumbashi, targeting a nationwide network of over 4,800 buses and 14M daily riders.
Pan-African Vision (From 2028)
Targeting expansion into 10 countries in Central and West Africa over the next decade, replicating our successful model.
