Dubai Taxi company expands fleet to cope with increasing demand in the city

Dubai: Dubai Taxi Company PJSC (DTC) has announced to expand fleet by adding 250 new vehicles.

Dubai’s largest taxi operator on Thursday announced to acquire another 250 new license plates for its taxi fleet in the recent auction by the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), bringing its total taxi fleet to 6,210 vehicles.

This expansion is set to generate additional annual revenue of approximately Dh85 million. The new addition will be fully allocated for electric vehicles, raising DTC’s environmentally friendly fleet (hybrid and electric vehicles) to about 87% of its total taxi and limousine fleet. This strategic addition is in line with the UAE’s Year of Sustainability and DTC’s commitment to sustainable and innovative transport solutions, reflecting its ongoing efforts toward global leadership in eco-friendly mobility.

DTC is committed to enhancing the customer experience through advanced transportation services that adhere to international standards, positioning Dubai as a global hub for sustainable urban mobility.

Mansoor Rahma Alfalasi, CEO of Dubai Taxi Company, emphasised that this move aims to expand DTC’s services both within Dubai and regionally, while strengthening partnerships with leading local and international companies in the smart and sustainable transport sector.

“This acquisition brings our fleet more than 9,000 vehicles, including taxis, limousines, buses, and motorcycles, supporting DTC’s position as a leading provider of comprehensive mobility solutions and contributing to revenue growth and profitability of the business,” Alfalasi stated.

Alfalasi said that, driven by the growing demand for transportation services, Dubai Taxi Company will continue to enhance its operational capabilities to meet customer needs efficiently and flexibly. By expanding its fleet of fully electric vehicles, the Company aims to reduce emissions, maximise operational efficiency, and contribute to environmental preservation. These efforts align with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and the Dubai Government’s strategic goals of achieving comprehensive environmental sustainability in the transportation sector.
