Our Story
Like any transformative novel technology, electric vehicles create an array of potent economic development challenges and opportunities. While the electric vehicle (EV) market is still at a relatively early stage, it is poised to reshape transportation worldwide.
As part of a futuristic, sustainable industrial revolution, we don’t feel the need to do things according to the so-called norms. We invest ourselves into creating solutions that are a promise to solve bigger problems —especially in terms of environmental issues.
Our goal was never to be just another EV company. But to be a company that recognizes problems and finds tech-driven, sustainable solutions. MAuto doesn’t want a future where we have space for regret when it comes to environmental responsibility. We are protecting the environment and empowering everyone who works with us.
Being one of the pioneers in the sustainable energy-based industry, the ideation of MAuto began in 2014. Our expert engineers and leaders started manufacturing EV batteries. It took us nearly 4 years to deploy our first fleet of electric vehicles, including 3 variants of three-wheelers and 3 variants of two-heelers.
The company was officially incorporated in 2018, and we started the deployment of EVs in Chennai (India) and major parts of Togo and Benin (Africa).
Our Work in Africa
MAuto Electric signed an agreement with PIA for commencing its activities and to start MAuto’s largest electric vehicle manufacturing unit at PIA Togo in Africa in the presence of Hon. Minister of Environment and Forest Resources Mr. Katari Foli-Bazi, Hon. Minister of Road, Rail and Air transport Mr. Affoh Atcha Dedji, Minister of Investment Promotion Mme Rose Kayi Mivedo, and Minister of Commerce, Industry and Local Consumption Mr. Kodjo Adedze. We have been working on this for over a year now and are aiming to employ 50% of women.
We’ve already launched our training for women mechanics and technicians. Besides, we’re committed to achieving a set of other goals, including:
- Setting up the largest battery unit in Africa.
- Producing 1000 units of bikes per day, 30,000 units per month, and 60,000 units of batteries per month in the MAuto Togo factory.
- Building an extensive dealer network in and around Africa.
We’ve been staunch believers in social entrepreneurship. Environmental sustainability is the other top-most priority for us. All MAuto vehicles are electric and designed to be in harmony with the environment. Moreover, with MAuto, we brought in a sizable number of women and transgender drivers. And a female leader oversees a fleet of more than 50,000 male drivers. And that’s not all. There is zero tolerance toward gender biases at MAuto. We only look at people’s skills and potential—not their sexual orientation.
