This vehicle would allow Dubai to join the ranks of major cities around the world such as London and New York, that are identifiable by their iconic cabs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dubai Taxi Company (DTC) plans to launch an iconic taxi which will not be found anywhere else in the world, its CEO said. The company displayed\u00a0the new electric vehicle\u00a0at Gitex Global 2025 exhibition at the Dubai World Trade Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is entirely designed by DTC and will be part of the company\u2019s fleet at the Dubai International (DXB) in the first quarter of next year, and then it will be rolled out to other areas of the city,\u201d Mansoor Rahma Alfalasi, CEO of Dubai Taxi Company, told \u062e\u0644\u06cc\u062c \u0679\u0627\u0626\u0645\u0632<\/em> in an interview on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This taxi would allow Dubai to join the ranks of major cities around the world such as London and New York, that are identifiable by their iconic taxis (black cab and yellow cab, respectively).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Look:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Alfalasi called it an “iconic car”, saying that nowhere else in the world would such a taxi be found, “especially at airports”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a 100 per cent\u00a0<\/strong>electric car and is equipped with state-of-the-art technology,” he said. “Everything is built-in and it can carry\u00a0people of determination (PoDs). In the last three decades, all the knowledge that DTC has, it brought all of it (into) this car.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The five-seater vehicle \u2014 PV5 \u2014 will have six built-in cameras. It is a spacious vehicle, with a trunk capacity of 1,100 litres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massive fleet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

DTC is a leading mobility provider and enjoys 45 per cent market share as a taxi operator in Dubai. It operates a fleet of approximately 6,200 taxis, including pink taxis catering to families, women, and children, as well as accessible\u00a0vehicles designed to serve people of determination. The fleet also features over 600 premium limousines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alfalasi elaborated that they have not yet decided on the number of vehicles to be rolled out, but it is going to be a good number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe only missing thing in this car is that it is not autonomous. But of course, this will be the next thing,\u201d he said, adding that South Korean car manufacturer Kia \u2014 which manufactured the car \u2014 is still studying the autonomous functionality in the vehicle. \u201cThis will suit our operation in the coming years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
