An expansion enabling the delivery of larger packages

Uber is excited to announce that South Africans are now able to send even larger packages across town with Uber’s on-demand delivery solution, Uber Connect Car. This is due to the success of Connect Moto, which allows users to request that their packages be delivered using motorbike delivery via the Uber app. Uber Connect Moto was launched in 2020 and is now available in six countries across Sub Saharan Africa .

Motorbike delivery will remain an option for smaller packages under 15kg, with over 200 000 unique users across SSA making use of this delivery option each month. Timothy Kiluba, Head of Core Operations at Uber Sub Saharan Africa explains, “We have been thrilled with the demand of Uber Connect and have seen all types of users, including SMBs such as restaurants, bakeries, parcel delivery companies and online retail shops using the platform.

While this new launch is exciting for users, drivers are also expected to see the advantages. “At a time when we need more opportunities that allow people to be more economically independent, we believe Uber and other platforms can be a bridge to a sustainable economic recovery. The launch will enable drivers to alternate between picking up riders and making deliveries, unlocking more earning opportunities and choices for drivers.
