In a move that is expected to strengthen South Africa’s booming last-mile delivery sector, Bajaj South Africa has partnered with logistics platform Picup.
The partnership will see Picup riders equipped with the rugged Bajaj Boxer 150.
The partnership is designed to improve uptime, reduce operating costs, and enhance driver safety and productivity, with Bajaj’s robust, low-maintenance fleet complementing Picup’s smart logistics and scalable delivery solutions.
“Picup is more than a logistics partner – it’s a platform for opportunity,” says Mikael Cloete, business head of Bajaj South Africa. “By connecting people, brands, and communities, they’re redefining how last-mile delivery is done in South Africa. We’re proud to support this mission with vehicles designed for real-world performance, fuel efficiency, and reliability.”
Through the Picup platform, thousands of South Africans have been given access to income generating work using smart, app-based tools that enhance efficiency and service delivery.
Picup founder Antonio Bruni says the key focus is enabling drivers with reliable vehicles. “Our primary goal is to offer a rent-to-own solution. We’ve done all the hard work to bring this programme to life, and now we’re ready to launch it. In partnership with Bajaj, we’ll also be rolling out electric vehicles later this year – expanding beyond petrol bikes to include sustainable EV options.”
Picup’s client base that includes Pick n Pay, Dis-Chem, Nandos, and other household brands.
