Following the 2019 announcement of ExxonMobil investment in Trella, ExxonMobil Egypt S.A.E. announced the signature of the Collaboration and Framework Agreement with Trella, a technology platform that connects shippers to carriers, aiming to disrupt the freight industry in Egypt with innovative solutions and tech-fueled growth. This is ExxonMobil’s first direct investment and collaboration with a tech startup in the Middle East and North Africa.
Founded in 2019, Trella is on a mission to optimize the trucking industry across Egypt, the Middle East, and North Africa. The B2B technology platform connects shippers and carriers in real-time, using data to optimize drivers’ routes and increase the volume of backhauls. This platform empowers truckers to get more valuable, consistent business, while also reducing costs for shippers by improving load utilization and efficiency and enabling shipment tracking in real-time.
This strategic collaboration arrives in time with ExxonMobil Egypt’s mission to empower new digital solutions and support young and ambitious innovators beyond the energy industry.
This initiative allows Trella to bring even greater value to the freight marketplace through enhanced trucking productivity and efficiency, increased work opportunities for truck drivers, and empowering drivers and fleets with the use of Mobil Delvac – ExxonMobil’s heavy-duty diesel engine oils designed to help commercial trucks boost uptime and reduce fuel costs.
