Maxim E-hailing Helps Drivers Cut Fuel Costs with Joint Rides and Area Selection

Maxim E-Hailing continues to strengthen its commitment to partner-drivers in Malaysia by offering a flexible and efficient platform that helps them manage their routes strategically, reduce fuel consumption and increase their income. Through its innovative order management system, Maxim enables partner-drivers to select and accept orders based on their preferred locations and schedules. This approach allows drivers to plan their journeys more effectively, ensuring that every trip contributes to convenience as well as earnings.

According to Mohd Hazwan Musley, Director of Maxim Malaysia, the platform’s flexibility allows drivers to take greater control over their routes and working hours. By selecting orders manually, drivers can avoid unnecessary mileage, save on fuel costs and optimise their time on the road. This not only improves operational efficiency but also empowers drivers to manage their daily income more strategically.

The system is particularly beneficial for part-time drivers who seamlessly incorporate their driving activities into their daily routines. Many of them choose to pick up passengers along their usual commuting routes, such as during their travel to and from work. This allows them to earn additional income without the need for extra trips or increased fuel usage. Maxim partner-driver Rikiputra Bin Busyra shared his experience, noting that the platform’s convenience enables him to earn more without disrupting his schedule. He typically accepts requests during his morning and evening commutes, maximising productivity while minimising costs.

The growing number of partner-drivers has also made a meaningful contribution to Malaysia’s economic resilience. E-hailing and gig platforms play an increasingly important role by offering alternative income sources, supporting mobility and delivery needs and promoting financial inclusion. As more individuals join the digital economy, small-scale economic activities across various sectors gain momentum, benefiting drivers, consumers and the broader economy.

Maxim’s latest initiative reflects its ongoing dedication to creating a driver-focused ecosystem that supports Malaysia’s evolving gig economy. By integrating flexibility with operational efficiency, Maxim continues to ensure that partner-drivers can plan their work around their lifestyles while maintaining a steady and sustainable source of income.
