Société Générale and GuarantCo, part of the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG), are in partnership with Spiro, which is preparing to considerably expand its electric motorcycle fleet, as well as the associated batteries and exchange stations, in Benin and Togo .

In order to considerably expand its electric motorcycle fleet, Spiro will rely on a financing solution of 37.8 billion XOF (approximately 63 million USD), with a first instalment of 21 billion XOF (approximately 35 million USD), from Société Générale, secured by a partial credit guarantee of 70 % by GuarantCo. Spiro aims to replace conventional combustion engines with clean electric alternatives, dramatically reducing CO2 emissions and air pollution. For Jules Samain, the CEO of Spiro, “this pivotal financing from GuarantCo and Société Générale style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style”, “serif"">allows us to strengthen our commitment to decarbonize transport. By adding at least 15,700 clean electric motorcycles, more than 31,400 electric batteries, and more than 1,000 exchange stations to our existing fleet, we plan to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, this business allows us to generate numerous operations, maintenance and technical support jobs, promoting local employment with a strong focus on gender inclusion.”
