Cleaner kilometres for one city, then the rest.
We launched electric because Georgetown’s air deserves it — and because the math works.
The numbers, honestly.
Every claim on this page is backed by a documented calculation. Nothing is modelled more optimistically than we’re willing to defend in public.
Compared to the fleet we’re replacing
Per-km emissions benchmarked against the weighted average of vehicles currently providing ride services in Georgetown.
Guyana’s grid intensity, today
Upstream emissions from electricity generation are counted at the national grid intensity published by the Guyana Power & Light, not a “zero” assumption.
Reviewed by UQAM
Our ESG methodology has been independently reviewed and endorsed by Dr. Luania Gomez Gutierrez, a professor at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) in Canada. The full methodology note is available on request and will be published in our first annual transparency report.
Cumulative impact
As the fleet scales to 350 EVs, GuyWay is projected to avoid ~20,700 tonnes of CO₂ over 2026–2034 versus the equivalent fuel-powered trips.
Roughly the CO₂ absorbed by ~75,000 mature Guyana rainforest trees over the same period — based on an average tropical-primary-forest sequestration of ~30 kg CO₂ per tree per year.
Forward estimate, recalculated each year against actual kilometres driven and the published grid factor.
A legacy fleet is a trap.
Most ride networks electrify slowly — they’re dragging a diesel balance sheet. We don’t have one. Starting clean means lower operating cost, no transition pain, measurable impact from week one.
- Zero tailpipe emissionsEvery GuyWay trip at launch is a zero-tailpipe trip.
- Energy, not fuelElectricity costs ~⅓ of fuel per km — that savings flows to the driver.
- Fewer parts, fewer breakdownsEV drivetrains have a fraction of the maintenance points.
Clean rides, real opportunity.
650+ drivers earning
At full fleet, hundreds of independent driver-partners earn transparent, contracted income on the GuyWay platform — typically above the Georgetown taxi-market median — alongside our directly employed operations team.
Trained before they drive
Every driver completes safety and EV training before their first commercial trip.
Safe by design
GPS-tracked trips, in-app SOS, dedicated female-passenger safety protocols, and a confidential channel to raise concerns.

Scope 3 exports
Business accounts export auditable travel-emission reports for ESG filings.
Independent oversight
Our ESG framework is independently reviewed by a professor at UQAM (Canada), tracked against defined KPIs with named owners, and reviewed every quarter.
Where the electrons come from.
An EV is only as clean as the grid behind it. Here’s how we’re thinking about charging — honestly, and with the trade-offs visible.
Private depot charging
Vehicles charge overnight at our Cummings Lodge depot, on the Guyana Power & Light grid. Hours chosen to sit outside peak demand.
Solar-backed depot
Pilot on-site solar at the depot, with grid top-up. Target: offset a meaningful share of daily charging load with local generation.
Driver home charging
For approved drivers, subsidised home charger installs. Clean energy closer to where drivers live — less dead-head to the depot.
Sustainability questions, answered.
The methodology behind GuyWay's emissions numbers — in plain language. More context on our About page and for corporates on Business.
Per-trip tailpipe emissions are zero because the fleet is 100% electric. Well-to-wheel emissions are calculated using Guyana's published grid-mix factor and vehicle-specific energy use per kilometre (kWh/km). The full methodology is on this page.
The launch fleet is sourced through national and international EV distributors and financed in partnership with local Guyanese financial institutions.
GuyWay vehicles charge at our own depots — starting with our Cummings Lodge depot — supported by chargers installed at partner hotels along key routes. We add charging capacity as the fleet scales.
Guyana's grid is transitioning from heavy fuel oil to natural gas through the national Gas-to-Energy project, which comes online as GuyWay launches. Because operations begin alongside that transition, GuyWay calculates well-to-wheel emissions using the gas-to-energy grid factor (~0.33 kg CO₂/kWh) and updates it annually as GPL publishes actual data.
Yes. GuyWay commits to an annual transparency report starting the first full year of operation, covering emissions avoided, charging energy delivered, and fleet composition. Our Safety page has the matching commitment on incident reporting.
Lower cost per kilometre for drivers (electric energy is roughly one third the cost of fuel), cleaner air in Georgetown, quieter streets, and alignment with Guyana's low-carbon development strategy. Electric-first from day one avoids the expensive retrofit of a legacy diesel fleet.
Cleaner rides.
