Project Pitch

Kuenza Express is a last-mile mobility and logistics platform focused on improving the organization and efficiency of Angola’s informal transport and delivery ecosystem. The project integrates motorcycle taxi services and logistics solutions to connect businesses and consumers through a structured and technology-enabled network.

The business model is based on an asset-light logistics platform generating revenue through delivery service fees, B2B partnerships with retailers, and subscription services for frequent users. The platform focuses on reducing logistics costs and improving delivery reliability, particularly in areas with limited addressing infrastructure.

Operationally, the system relies on three core pillars: technology, logistics infrastructure, and human capital. The platform integrates real-time monitoring and intelligent routing tools to optimize deliveries, while a hub-and-spoke network of micro-distribution centers supports efficient operations in Lobito and other key provinces. The company also focuses on professional driver management and regulatory compliance to ensure safety and service quality.

Kuenza Express aims to create a scalable and reliable mobility and logistics network that improves urban transport services, supports local commerce, and strengthens Angola’s last-mile logistics infrastructure.
