DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Swvl Holdings Corp ("Swvl" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:SWVL), a leading global provider of technology-enabled mobility solutions for enterprises and governments, today announced the renewal of its contract during January 2025 with a large enterprise in essential services. This renewed three-year agreement, valued at approximately $4 million (based on the exchange rates of Saudi Riyal to U.S. Dollars), which Swvl expects to exceed $5.2 million by contract expiry, underscores the Company's strategic role in expanding transportation operations by providing essential mobility services to NEOM, the region's flagship smart city project in Saudi Arabia.

By securing this contract renewal, Swvl believes that it further cements its position as a trusted partner in the region of Saudi Arabia's logistics sector, where the demand for secure, reliable transportation solutions continues to grow. Swvl further believe that this transport use case is significant in the region, driven by ongoing investments in infrastructure, government projects, and regional development initiatives.

This contract renewal also highlights Swvl's goal to expand its operational network to remote areas like NEOM, a visionary smart city under construction that is planned to span 26,500 square kilometers. Providing accessible and reliable transportation to such remote areas is vital in maintaining operational continuity and supporting the city's ambitious development timeline.

Furthermore, Swvl's advanced technology platform aims to enable its enterprises to efficiently manage dynamic transportation demands, and to optimize fleet operations to ensure timely service delivery for mission-critical operations. We believe that this adaptability is particularly crucial in remote and evolving city landscapes such as NEOM, where dynamic transportation requirements necessitate responsive, technology-driven solutions.

Mostafa Kandil, Chief Executive Officer of Swvl, commented: "We are honored to continue our relationship with a leader enterprise in Saudi Arabia's essential services sector. We believe that this renewed agreement not only strengthens our footprint in the sector, but also aligns with our mission to expand Swvl's transportation network across Saudi Arabia, including strategic developments in NEOM. By integrating our technology platform, we aim to deliver unparalleled convenience, reliability, and operational excellence to our customers."
