  • Didi

Chinese ride-hailing company Didi Chuxing has advertised online for a range of jobs in Mexico as it prepares to break into the country, one of rival Uber’s regional strongholds. Didi Chuxing plans this year to launch a smartphone app in Mexico and to recruit drivers to the platform, Reuters reported last month. The expansion underscores Didi’s growing interest in Mexico and, more broadly, Latin America, a market where Uber Technologies Inc doubled down after Didi drove it out of China.The company is the second-most highly valued, venture-backed private firm in the world, after Uber. Uber stressed its commitment to Mexico, noting its presence in 43 cities.Didi has been outspoken about its global ambitions, but the Mexico expansion marks a turning point. The company’s plans had previously been limited to financial commitments to ride-hailing companies in other countries and a research lab in Silicon Valley that opened last year. Didi has invested in a variety of Uber rivals around the world.The Chinese firm agreed to acquire control of Brazil’s ride service 99, the companies announced earlier this month. Didi will likely face regulatory battles in Mexico, just as Uber has.
