CAFU
The world's first on-demand fuel and vehicle services platform
On-demand platform for fuel delivery, EV charging, car wash, and vehicle maintenance. Self-funded by the Al Ghurair family. 1,000+ employees in UAE, piloting EV charging in Canada.
FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK
CAFU is rare in the Gulf: a bootstrapped company with 1,000+ employees, backed by Al Ghurair family capital rather than venture rounds. Starting with fuel delivery and expanding into EV charging and car services, CAFU builds a mobile vehicle services platform under margin discipline most VC-backed competitors never face.
The EV expansion is the strategic bet worth watching. As the UAE pushes EV adoption, the infrastructure gap creates openings for a company with fleet logistics already in place. The risk is that fuel delivery is low-margin, and the EV transition requires different unit economics. The Al Ghurair family's patient capital gives CAFU time that venture-backed competitors don't have.
