Key results
To meet full client demand during the Ramadan surge.
Electric fleet, the model Flottex was built on, kept intact.
Riders swap mid-route and finish the day's orders without returning to base.
Built electric from day one
Flottex was founded with one mission: logistics services that are sustainable end to end, powered entirely by an electric fleet. For its clients, that commitment is the reason they choose Flottex.
The cost of scaling alone
For an all-electric logistics company, growth comes with an infrastructure problem. Every increase in demand meant owning more charging stations, owning more batteries, and expanding only into areas where those stations already existed. Building stations, importing equipment and navigating customs all slowed Flottex down.
The pressure peaked during Ramadan. Demand surged, and Flottex needed a solution immediately. The options were stark: turn clients away, or abandon the electric model the company was built on and revert to petrol motorcycles.

A solution already on the ground
Blu EV offered what Flottex needed, where it was needed: Blu EV-powered electric motorcycles supplied on demand, and a battery swapping network already spread across Egypt. Instead of building infrastructure, Flottex plugged into it.
Working together, the two teams met all of Flottex’s client demand in five to six days, with its fleet still fully electric.
Riders set the route
Ahmed El-Sharif, Flottex’s Operations Manager, saw the difference in daily operations. Before Blu EV, he planned every rider’s route himself, every day. Short battery range meant riders went out with fewer orders and came back to base before the battery ran out, then headed out again for the rest.
Now riders plan their own routes and carry more orders per trip. When they finish a zone, they find the nearest Blu EV battery swapping unit (BSU) in the Blu EV app, swap the battery, and carry on with the rest of the day’s work.
An ongoing partnership
The partnership between Flottex and Blu EV continues, with Flottex’s all-electric fleet running on the Blu EV Ecosystem.
