Gozem, Africa’s transport app, and Total Togo, the leading oil distributor in Togo, have announced a strategic partnership to enable Gozem’s partner-drivers in Togo to have access to Total cards linked to their Gozem digital wallets.
With this, drivers can directly use their Gozem earnings to buy fuel and related products, and professionally service their vehicles at all Total Togo service stations without cash.
Every day, thousands of trips are completed by hundreds of drivers on the Gozem platform via motorcycles, auto-rickshaws and cars. With this agreement, Gozem and Total create value in Togo’s transport sector by facilitating driver access to high quality petroleum products and services, improving vehicle performance and longevity, driver productivity, and passenger safety.
A statement on this deal explained that this agreement with Total demonstrates Gozem’s multi-pronged commitment to promoting safety for drivers, passengers, and other stakeholders.
On the one hand, drivers enjoy easier access to regulated petroleum products and services that extend vehicle life expectancy, increase fuel efficiency, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
In addition, by being able to carry out cashless transactions, drivers also avoid various risks associated with the transport of cash.
“This partnership with Total Togo is yet another example of Gozem’s commitment to supporting and creating value for our partner-drivers.
“We’re proud to help our partner-drivers improve their safety and productivity,” says Jean-Martial Moulaud, Country Manager of Gozem Togo.
For Frédéric Rivière, General Manager of Total Togo, “This collaboration is a great opportunity for Total to create material links with Gozem’s partner-drivers in Lomé.
“Together, we want to create a synergy allowing us to support Gozem’s drivers by offering them quality services every time, preserving their working tools.”
