mytaxi, Europe´s innovative leader in taxi e-hailing, announced today that it has acquired a 100% holding in Clever Tech, the operator of the popular taxi booking app Clever Taxi in Romania. With this acquisition, mytaxi has consolidated its presence in the international mobility market and strengthened its position as Europe´s leading taxi e-hailing company.

The parties agreed not to disclose the exact details of the transaction, but stated that the valuation was set at an 8-figure number.

Clever Taxi, which was founded in 2010 by Mihai Rotaru and Alexandru Dumitru, operates in twenty major cities in the country and has 17,000 registered taxi drivers and around 600,000 registered customers. Since 2010 Clever Taxi has provided more than 40 million rides in Romania making it the largest e-hailing app in Romania. For the time being the Clever Taxi brand will continue to exist, which means that Clever taxi drivers and customers will be able to continue to use the service as normal.

Through this strategic acquisition, mytaxi is accelerating the international expansion of the taxi booking app in Europe. Launched in 2009, mytaxi was the world´s first app to enable a direct connection between taxi users and taxi drivers. With a global volume of more than 10 million downloads, over 120,000 registered drivers and availability in more than 70 cities in ten - soon to be eleven - European countries, mytaxi is the frontrunner in the field of taxi booking apps. Romania will become the eleventh country in Europe in which mytaxi operates.

Andrew Pinnington, Chief Executive Officer at mytaxi said: "We are very pleased to welcome Clever Taxi into the mytaxi family. As the first taxi app in Romania with 17,000 drivers and 600,000 customers, Clever Taxi is the perfect fit for mytaxi. This latest acquisition underlines our ambitions in the development and growth of urban mobility in Europe. It is another step in making mytaxi the biggest, best and most loved taxi provider in Europe - providing everyday magic to millions of people across the region."
Klaus Entenmann, Daimler Financial Services: "mytaxi is a fundamental component of our mobility offer and its European organic and dynamic expansion remains a strategic cornerstone of putting mobility at your fingertips."

Mihai Rotaru, co-founder and CEO of Clever Taxi, said: "We are really excited to join mytaxi because this acquisition will enable us to fulfill our shared vision of the transportation market. Since 2010 Clever Taxi has been pioneering how people get around in cities across Romania. mytaxi is the ideal partner for us because we are both committed to investing in local markets and to provide the safest, most reliable and legal form of authorised transportation and to help people move around their cities more freely through advanced mobility solutions. We look forward to working with the team to develop further innovative mobility solutions to both drivers and passengers.

We also intend to develop a local Research and Development (R&D) centre in Bucharest to provide mobility technology globally and hence we are currently hiring in all aspects of business and technology."
