With its rechargeable energy model, ProTaxi aims to reduce dependence on petrol-powered vehicles and address some of the operating cost challenges faced by drivers in the face of changing global energy prices.
The platform will allow passengers to book rides, access trip information and make payments through a mobile application designed for Android and iPhone users.
It is also expected to feature driver verification, real-time trip tracking, ratings and reviews, as well as location-sharing facilities aimed at improving transparency and passenger safety.
Drivers are expected to have flexible working schedules, allowing them to manage their availability while earning through the platform.
PromiseLand Innovations Limited said the initiative forms part of its broader commitment to technology-driven services, sustainable mobility and economic empowerment.
The company, which also has interests in real estate development through PromiseLand Estate, is expanding its business activities into the transportation and e-hailing sector.
The 1st October launch is expected to position ProTaxi as a new entrant in Nigeria’s e-hailing industry, emphasizing green-energy transportation, affordable mobility and opportunities for drivers.
The company has also expressed its ambition to expand the platform beyond Nigeria and contribute to the adoption of cleaner transportation solutions across Africa.
