About Shift EV
Shift EV is an Egyptian clean-tech and mobility startup focused on accelerating the transition to electric transportation across emerging markets. Founded in Cairo, the company develops technology that converts existing commercial vehicles from internal combustion engines to electric powertrains, providing businesses with a more affordable route to fleet electrification.
Rather than requiring organisations to purchase entirely new electric vehicles, Shift EV helps extend the lifespan of existing assets while reducing emissions and operating costs. The startup’s model is particularly relevant in emerging economies where vehicle replacement costs can be prohibitive.
Backed by notable regional and international investors, Shift EV has become one of Egypt’s most recognised climate-tech startups. Its mission aligns with broader sustainability goals across the Middle East and Africa, demonstrating how MENA startups are creating practical solutions for decarbonisation while addressing local economic realities and infrastructure constraints.
