Shell, Careem and Muawin join hands for fuel management solutions

KARACHI: Shell Pakistan Limited collaborates with Careem and Muawin to provide a dynamic fuel management solution for Careem captains along with the driving awareness on the road safety standards, a statement said.

By utilising a personalised Shell Fleet Card financed by Muawin, the Careem captains can avail fuel on credit on numerous Shell retail sites across the country; thereby, completing more rides and growing their income.

This initiative also includes an educational safety programme for the Careem captains to build awareness about the road safety and traffic hazards in Pakistan.

Speaking at the ceremony, Shell Pakistan Managing Director Waqar Siddiqui said: “Shell understands the evolving needs of diverse consumer segments. We have a vision to fuel Pakistan’s mobility landscape and to drive sustainable socioeconomic growth in the country.”

“Such resourceful collaborations with innovative enterprises such as Careem and Muawin will empower the frontline service providers and promote road safety in Pakistan, as we remain committed to adding value to the community, at large,” he added.

Commenting on the partnership, Careem Pakistan Country Head Feroz Jaleel said: “The captains are at the heart of what we do and an integral part of our operations and the Careem family. This partnership with Shell and Muawin will undoubtedly help the captains in managing their fuel expenses, ultimately providing a better experience to the customers.”

“Additionally, the work for safety never stops at Careem; hence, the educational safety programme for our captains will be a great step to further empower them in their everyday rides. We will continue to come up with more such initiatives to assist our captains in simplifying and improving their lives,” he added.

Muawin Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Hashim Ali said: “Careem and their captains are doing wonders in a country, where the public transport options are unable to cater to the rising mobility demands.”

“Muawin’s mission is to ensure that our Dost (MSMEs), including ride-hailing workers, are able to sustain and grow their livelihood. By partnering with Shell and Careem, we are truly ecstatic to expand the impact of our fuel-financing product and ensure easy access to credit for millions of Pakistanis,” he remarked.
