BRIEF OF SUBMITTED SOLUTION


Rapid urbanization urges social and economic lifestyle changes in terms of how people live, commute, and work. Since mobility is one of the major needs for an urban lifestyle, people try to adopt city-friendly transport means that are conducive to daily life. Congested city infrastructure makes personally-owned transport modes more and more tiresome while increasing the role of shared mobility services.

Trekk seeks to drive the transition to more sustainable, reliable, and affordable transportation alternatives in Nigeria and around Africa with our innovative technologies. It simply means that we use our cutting-edge technology to revolutionize transportation in Africa, thereby replacing the traditional, arduous combustion engine vehicles with tech-driven alternatives. We reduce the dependence on automobiles for short-distance transportation through an equitable distribution of e-scooters within communities. This is also aimed at providing a smarter, cleaner and healthier planet for future generations using renewable energy. Trekk’s services are in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 7, 11 & 13.

Being the first scooter-sharing company in Nigeria, we are deploying high-tech technologies that will transform the mobility industry. These include IoT, Sensors, Geo-localization, Mapping, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Cyber security. Knowing this is a relatively new product in the industry, we hope to impact knowledge in the tech space as it relates to mobility.

One of our top priorities as a company is to build Research & Development programs in partner campus communities, innovate on backward integration of scooter manufacturing in Nigeria, and leverage other renewable energy sources to power our scooters.Trekk Scooters is the only last-mile mobility service that provides 24/7 availability, cleaner and safer communities, automation, zero noise pollution, affordability, technology-driven, covid-19 safety (one rider per time), guidelines compliant, ease of payment and dedicated customer service.
