EV demand continues to grow year-on-year across all five markets, but no two markets are following the same path. 🚘 Across France, Romania, Portugal, Poland and South Africa, Chinese automotive brands are also gaining ground in very different ways. Our new OLX Group data report, The Great Acceleration: East Meets Electric, uses proprietary data from Groupe La Centrale, Autovit.ro, Standvirtual, OTOMOTO and AutoTraderSA to explore how EV demand and Chinese brand uptake are evolving across five markets. A few key findings: • France recorded the fastest year-on-year EV lead growth, at +206%. • Portugal remains the most EV-mature market, with EVs accounting for 14.9% of leads. • Romania combines rising EV demand with EV prices down 7.7% year-on-year. • Poland recorded +94.6% growth in Chinese brand leads. • South Africa has the highest Chinese brand share of leads, at 7.31%, but only 0.3% of Chinese brand demand there is electric. • MG and BYD appear among the leading Chinese brands in four of the five markets. The data points to EV adoption becoming a more sustained trend, even as growth begins to normalise. At the same time, Chinese manufacturers are adapting their products and pricing to very different local conditions. 📊 Explore the full OLX Group data report 👉 https://lnkd.in/dd8kvknc #ElectricVehicles #ChineseCarBrands #Automotive

How many times do you charge your phone in a day? 👀 Now imagine charging it approximately 6,500 times. That is the amount of energy that can be saved, on average, when one preloved smartphone is traded and kept in use for longer. Around 530 MJ of energy from just one phone. Quite a lot for something that might otherwise stay forgotten in a drawer, right? Passing it on gives the phone more life and gives someone else the chance to use it. 📱💚 Discover more in the OLX Impact Report FY26 👉 https://lnkd.in/eS8y7kBq #Preloved #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Smartphones #ImpactReport

What can 5.9 million good deals do? More than you might think. 🌍 Every time someone buys or sells something preloved on our platforms, a product gets another chance. That means a buyer can save money, a seller can earn money, and something that already exists stays in use for longer. Our new OLX Impact Report FY26 explores the economic and environmental impact of reselling electronics, vehicles and car parts on OLX platforms. Together, those transactions helped save materials, water and energy, while avoiding carbon emissions. But the real impact is not only in the numbers. It is in millions of people making simple choices that add up to something much bigger. Discover the OLX Impact Report FY26 and see why your next good deal is also a good deed.

Our Real Estate team built a full product feature in 7 days. Inês Urbano will tell you that's the least interesting part of the story. At OLX's FrAIday, she, Szymon Pawlik and Jakub Homlala shipped a Tinder-style property discovery interface — swipe right on homes you love, let AI learn your preferences, get personalised results. Seven business days. But here's what Inês keeps coming back to: Before this, a project built over a quarter only delivered real user insights at the very end. You built everything on assumptions, then found out at the last moment whether any of it was right. Now they ship small, ship fast — and hear from real users immediately. The feedback loop that used to close every three months closes every week. That changes everything. Not just how fast you build. What you dare to try. "The permission was real. When you're working somewhere that genuinely expects you to push, your own expectations of yourself change." OLX gave the team a dedicated week, the right tools, and a genuine mandate to take risks. What they did with it was their own. But the space to do it? That was OLX's part of the story. Story #2 in our AI Innovators at OLX series. At OLX, you don't just work inside what's already built. You get to help shape what comes next. We're hiring people with the creative courage to try things before they're certain. 👉 https://lnkd.in/egmWK6g6 #OLX #AIInnovators #ProductDesign #FrAIday #LifeAtOLX

Sometimes, two browser tabs can create twice the work. At OLX, we needed to make large file uploads continue even when someone closed or reopened their browser. But that created another challenge: if the same website was open in multiple tabs, each one could try to resume the same upload. That meant duplicate files, wasted bandwidth, extra processing and a confusing experience for users. The solution was the Web Locks API. It works like a shared key, allowing one tab to handle the upload while the others recognise that the job is already being done. In our latest OLX Group Tech Blog article, OLXer Cesar Contreras explains how the team used it to make uploads more reliable, reduce unnecessary work and keep the experience smooth for users.

Meetings, messages, deadlines… And somewhere in the middle of it all, ice cream. 🍦 This week, our OLXers had a quick Ice Cream Day treat in the office. A small pause, a few scoops, some team chats, and then back to work a little more refreshed. The treat was powered by Green, our internal AI HR Agent in Slack, who usually helps with HR questions around leave, benefits, payroll and policies. This time, Green helped with something a bit more seasonal: keeping the office cool. 💚

AI can open new creative possibilities. ✨ But creativity still needs people. OLX Ukraine recently created a real estate commercial with AI, built around a very human idea: a home is not defined only by square metres, location or number of rooms. It is also shaped by the small moments people imagine living there, from a quiet morning and cooking after work to having friends over or coming home after a hard day. The video was not created through a traditional shoot, but it was far from instant. Created by Tobedone Agency, together with our OLXer Yuliia Kozar, the project started with a real phone-shot animatic to guide the camera movement and rhythm, then developed through many rounds of direction, testing and refinement to make the technology feel less visible and the story feel more real. That is an important part of how we think about AI at OLX Group. Not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a tool that can help teams and creative partners explore new formats, work with more flexibility and bring ideas to life in different ways. We are building AI-native marketplaces people trust, and that also means learning how AI can support more emotional, useful and human brand experiences. 🏡
