Proiectul Zero

Mai mulți kilometri fără emisii, pentru orașe mai bune.

Obiectivul nostru

We’re raising the share of zero-emission vehicles on our ride-hailing platform in Europe to 50% by 2030 and 70% in selected markets.

We know from driver feedback that the shift to electric vehicles (EVs) depends on their confidence in accessing and driving them as conveniently as conventional vehicles.

That’s why we’re focused on reducing barriers, with one goal in mind: making EVs the better alternative.

The 3 pillars of Project Zero:

Improve access to electric vehicles and awareness

35% dintre șoferii parteneri care oferă curse de ride-hailing spun că prețurile vehiculelor electrice sunt principalul obstacol care împiedică tranziția. 60% doresc mai multe informații despre vehiculele electrice înainte de a face acest pas.

We partner with manufacturers and financiers to offer solutions that better fit ride-hailing drivers’ needs.
We focus on driver awareness by sharing information about Bolt’s electrification initiatives, driver experiences, as well as support mechanisms and incentives available.

Pillar 2

Reducerea barierelor în ceea ce privește încărcarea

72% dintre șoferii de vehicule electrice spun că cele mai mari obstacole în conducerea mașinilor electrice sunt disponibilitatea stațiilor de încărcare și costurile de încărcare rapidă.

Pillar 3

Mai mulți pasageri

60% dintre pasageri spun că sunt mai predispuși să folosească servicii de ride-hailing dacă pot avea acces regulat la vehicule electrice.

We highlight transport modes with lower environmental impact through our dedicated categories to support informed rider choices.
We continuously add vehicles to our Electric & Green categories — now operating in 71 cities across Europe and Africa.

Bolt’s electric vehicle strategy

Bolt’s long-term environmental commitment is to become a carbon net-zero company by 2040

With ride-hailing representing the majority of emissions generated on our platform, increasing the number of zero-emission vehicles is our priority.

Driver awareness & benefits

We’ve partnered with EV fleet software provider Volteum to provide a total cost of ownership calculator. This tool helps ICE drivers analyse their current costs and find the best EV for their needs.

Reducerea costurilor de operare

Ținând cont de costul mai scăzut al energiei electrice în comparație cu benzina și motorina, dar și de costurile reduse de întreținere a vehiculelor electrice, vehiculele electrice sunt, în medie, mai economice decât vehiculele convenționale.

Deplasări line

Vehiculele electrice oferă o experiență de cursă mai silențioasă și mai confortabilă. Șoferii care au făcut deja tranziția spun că vehiculele electrice sunt mai ușor de condus și de întreținut.

Better cities

Each EV replacing a combustion engine helps cut carbon emissions. But the real impact depends on the grid’s power mix. To ensure EV drivers can transport passengers emissions-free, Bolt partners with charging operators that provide 100% renewable electricity.

City benefits

Even partial car trip replacements can significantly shrink a city’s carbon footprint.

Micromobility is cutting emissions fast: shared e-scooters now emit just 61 gCO₂/pkm and e-bikes 46 gCO₂/pkm—far below the EU average of 160 gCO₂/pkm for fossil fuel cars (ITF 2024).

Efficient urban pollution reduction

The average ride-hailing driver covers up to 5 times the daily mileage of a regular private car driver. Electrifying shared mobility will thus lead to more zero-emission kilometres and less air and noise pollution.

Low-emissions urban transport systems

Ride-hailing and other modes of shared mobility already contribute to public transport systems by bridging gaps in public networks. With electrified shared mobility, cities can offer convenient, affordable, and low-emission transport alternatives for every purpose a private car serves.

Our initiatives and partnerships

EV co-financing

We are helping fleets access new EVs and improve service quality for riders across major European cities, including Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, and Oslo.

Electrifying Africa

In Nairobi, Kenya, we've partnered with M-KOPA, Ampersand, and Roam to offer drivers discounted electric motorcycle leases, aiming to boost their earnings by lowering operational costs.

Rent-to-buy partnerships

In the UK, we partnered with Weflex, enabling drivers to transition to using electric vehicles on a flexible rent-to-buy scheme. Our pilot scheme with Splend is helping 500 ride-hailing drivers own an electric vehicle.

Electric 3-wheelers In Malta

We deployed an electric 3-wheeler ride-hailing service in partnership with Buzzz Electric.

Electric rental cars on Bolt Drive

We increased the number of hybrid and electric vehicles on our Bolt Drive car-sharing platform in collaboration with Swedbank and Luminor, leading banks in the Baltics.

Charging solutions and partnerships

We’ve opened an ultra-fast EV charging hub in central Stockholm, accessible only to Bolt platform drivers. This means that drivers spend less time looking for a place to charge and have more hours to maximise their earnings. We partnered with Eleport, a leading EV charging network developer in the Baltics and Poland, to install 750 electric vehicle charging points and launch a driver EV charging incentive programme.

Since most drivers do not have access to home charging, we have set up partnerships with charging operators to reduce costs of public charging in Sweden, the Baltics, Poland, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium and Thailand and continuously work to add more. Our list of partners includes Eleport, Electra, JB Charge, OK Q8, Shell, Repsol, and EDP.
