Moove, a global leader in innovative mobility solutions, has announced a pioneering fleet partnership with American autonomous driving technology company Waymo. This collaboration represents the first commercial partnership of its kind on the Waymo one app.
Under the agreement, Moove will oversee the management and dispatch of Waymo’s fully autonomous electric vehicle (EV) fleet, beginning operations in Phoenix in 2025 and expanding to Miami in 2026. Move will handle all aspects of fleet operations, including facilities and charging infrastructure, ensuring smooth functionality. Meanwhile, Waymo will continue to operate its Waymo One app and focus on validating and advancing its autonomous driving technology, the Waymo Driver.
Commenting on the partnership Vice President of Operations at Waymo, Ryan McNamara said,
“We are excited to partner with Moove in Phoenix and later Miami, bringing together their mobility-focused fleet management experience with our growing Waymo One service. Together, we will provide safe, seamless trips for riders, and scale faster and more cost-effectively over time, with safety continuing to lead the way.”
While this partnership signals Moove’s entry into the autonomous vehicle (AV) market, the company remains committed to its core mission of empowering underserved mobility entrepreneurs. Through its flagship Drive-to-Own (DO) product, Moove will continue democratizing access to vehicle ownership, enabling thousands of mobility entrepreneurs in emerging markets to succeed.
Autonomous vehicles have the potential to revolutionize mobility by addressing inefficiencies, enhancing safety, and promoting environmental sustainability. According to the World Health Organization, road traffic crashes account for approximately 1.19 million fatalities annually, ranking among the leading causes of death worldwide. Shared AV solutions, like those powered by Waymo and managed by Moove, offer opportunities to reduce urban congestion, improve road safety, and foster sustainable cities.
Also commenting on the partnership, Co-founder and Co-CEO of Moove Ladi Delano said,
“Ride-hailing has transformed urban mobility over the past 15 years, yet the core experience has largely remained unchanged. Waymo’s safe, reliable, and convenient Waymo One service leads in autonomous technology, and together, we’re driving a major shift in urban mobility. We’re proud to partner with Waymo, bringing our operational expertise to make this transformation possible. We understand that mobility isn’t a ‘one size fits all’. While we’re expanding into AVs in the U.S, we remain deeply committed to serving our customers around the world where we will continue to provide our unique financing solutions to underserved mobility entrepreneurs”.
Founded in 2020 by Ladi Delano and Jose Odunsi, Moove provides customers with access to vehicle financing, as well as a range of financial services that were previously inaccessible to them and their families, helping them to be more productive and successful.
Moove’s partnership with Waymo comes a few months after it officially launched its vehicle financing operations in Mexico in October. This is part of its broader goal to meet the rising demand for ride-hailing services in Latin America. With operations spanning 12 markets across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and Latin America, Moove has supported over 30,000 mobility entrepreneurs.
The company’s entry into the U.S. market aligns with its broader ambition to build the world’s largest fleet and cutting-edge technologies for powering mobility platforms. Notably, its rapid global growth is supported by its partnership with Uber and backing from prominent investors.
