Yango, an international online shopping ordering service, has announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Bee Group, a Cameroonian transport startup. The goal of this memorandum of understanding is to strive toward the construction of an innovative and modern carpooling service for the Cameroonian community in order to improve quality of life in the country.

Yango’s motorcycle transport ordering service was launched in Cameroon on July 14, making it the world’s first. This new service was created through a collaboration with Bee Group, which has one of the largest motorcycle fleets in Douala, and several other key partners.

“Our partners are very essential to us since they enable us to contribute to the good evolution of the country’s transportation industry. Furthermore, it is a win-win situation for both parties. We have raised the number of trips by 5 times since January, and the number of partner drivers by 4 times. I am really pleased that we signed this deal with Bee today, and I think that by combining our efforts and know-how, we will achieve better results,” Didier Theze, Yango Cameroon Country Manager, said.

“Motorcycling is one of the most popular ways of transport in Cameroon and other French-speaking nations, but the motorbike transport industry is not organised,” says Patrick Timani, CEO and co-founder of BEE Group. “We feel that by providing a fresh, modern service that makes motorcycle transportation convenient and comfortable, we can make a significant difference. We are glad to collaborate with Yango, an international service, to ensure that all Cameroonians arrive at their destinations on time and safely.”
