Zed Expands Taxi Fleet in Dubai

UAE-based ride-hailing app Zed has significantly expanded its platform, now hosting 10,764 vehicles through strategic partnerships with Dubai Taxi Corporation (DTC) and National Taxi. This expansion makes Zed the host of more than 80% of taxis in Dubai, positioning it as the second-largest taxi fleet in the emirate.

Strategic Partnerships with Leading Taxi Operators

Zeds expansion incorporates the fleets of Dubais top three taxi operators, including Kabi by Al Ghurair. This move aims to enhance taxi availability, reduce cancellations, and shorten estimated arrival times for riders, thereby improving the overall customer experience.

Enhancing Dubais Mobility Ecosystem

With over 25 years of experience in the mobility sector through our legacy business, Zed and Kabi by Al Ghurair have a deep understanding of Dubais commuting behaviors and cultural expectations, said Badr Al Ghurair, CEO of Zed. This collaboration with DTC and National Taxi further strengthens Dubais mobility ecosystem while ensuring that our communities have access to the reliable, everyday transport solutions they deserve.

Abhinav Patwa, EVP and head of Zed, emphasized that these partnerships allow the company to deliver greater scale and reliability while supporting drivers and maintaining a customer-centric approach. As Dubai shapes the blueprint for future-ready mobility, Zed is proud to be part of that journey, helping drive progress one ride at a time, he added.

Innovative Features and Future Plans

Zeds app offers features such as guaranteed punctual pickups for pre-scheduled premium rides. The company also plans to introduce loyalty rewards, digital wallets, and lifestyle partnerships to enhance user experience.

Aligning with Dubais Smart City 2025 Goals

The expansion aligns with Dubais Smart City 2025 initiative, which aims to shift 80% of taxi bookings to e-hailing platforms and integrate electric and hybrid taxis to support a cleaner transport ecosystem.
