Fuelin, a prepaid gasoline services firm located in Cairo, has established a collaboration with Master Gas to provide electronic payment services to Master Gas customers. Master Gas is a subsidiary of TAQA Arabia and a partner in the Egyptian power distribution and integrated services company TAQA Gas.

According to him, TAQA plans to grow to 108 stations by 2023 and increase its car conversion rate to over 8,000 automobiles each year.
Fuelin’s CEO and co-founder, Mohamed Hussein, expressed his joy at the completion of this collaboration with Master Gas, highlighting that it is the first of its kind.
“As an emerging company, we have a vision and significant expansion plans that we are working to implement by forming partnerships with various companies that own gas stations in Egypt, where we plan to reach 125,000 cars running the application by the end of 2023, and we seek to contract with 2,000 gas stations in addition to contracting with a participatory transportation company,” he said.
