Our Fleet
In addition to our 1,000 fully electric VW ID4s, we expanded our fleet with 600 brand-new, zero-emission capable (ZEC) VW Multivans, replacing all remaining diesel people carriers. As a result, our entire standard passenger fleet became zero-emission capable.
These new vehicles provide passengers with a sustainable version of our iconic, premium models – which we’re well known for. With fully configurable seating for up to six people, they elevate the luxury passenger experience.
We also transformed our ZEC executive services by introducing the Audi A6 and A8 to the fleet. This step reinforces our commitment to sustainability while ensuring customers had access to a diverse range of premium vehicles to meet their transport needs.
