As reported by EgyptInnovate, Octane — a leading provider of digital payment solutions for fleets — has launched O-Tolls in partnership with the National Company for Roads Building and Development Management. With this launch, Octane becomes the first company in Egypt to digitize road toll gate and tolls and scale payments for light, medium, and heavy trucks nationwide using NFC (Near Field Communication) technology.
Empowering Logistics Companies Across Egypt
O-Tolls enables logistics companies and transport fleets to pass smoothly and securely through more than 500 toll gates and tolls and scale across Egypt. The digital toll payment service eliminates cash handling and paper-based expense settlements, helping transform the transportation sector — one of Egypt's most cash-dependent industries — into a fully integrated digital ecosystem aligned with the state's financial inclusion strategy and Egypt Vision 2030.
Secure, Real-Time Payments & Cost Control
The NFC-based fleet payment service enables instant, secure digital transactions while allowing companies to monitor every road payment in real time. This enhances oversight and transparency, improves financial planning and fleet management efficiency, reduces fraud and waste, improves the driver experience, and minimizes stop times. Toll gate fees are strategically significant — accounting for roughly 10–15% of total operating expenses (OPEX) for logistics and distribution companies in Egypt.
Egypt's Largest Integrated Fleet Payments Network
Commenting on the launch, Amr Gamal, Co-Founder and CEO of Octane, said the launch of O-Tolls reinforces Octane's position as the largest integrated digital payments network for fleets in the Egyptian market — committed to digitizing all vehicle-related spending and shifting organizations from fragmented, cash-based operations to a unified digital model with accurate spend visibility and better financial planning.
Strong Market Demand from Day One
According to Amr Gamal, more than 100 companies joined O-Tolls within the first month alone — a clear reflection of the transportation and logistics sector's demand for practical technology that improves operational efficiency and ensures full cost control across the fleet.
