Daimler-owned ride-hailing app Mytaxi has agreed to acquire Romanian rival Clever Taxi for an "eight-figure sum", as it seeks to outpace Uber in Europe, according to Mytaxi CEO Andrew Pinnington. The move follows the Greece-based firm's purchase of Hamburg’s Taxibeat. Mytaxi, which uses metered vehicles and charges a lower commission to drivers, is one of several ride-hailing firms that have seen investment from big car manufacturers.
