Kabbee puts the capital’s biggest fully EV fleet into 400K Londoner’s pockets

London’s leading minicab comparison and booking app, Kabbee, has partnered with Thriev, the city’s zero emission electric vehicle fleet, as part of the company’s mission to provide its hundreds of thousands of users with environmentally-friendly licensed minicabs.

Thriev vehicles will be available for central London journeys, by selecting the ‘green’ option on the Kabbee app.  These electric vehicles will add to the 10,000 minicabs that are currently available via Kabbee.

Just as sophisticated technology is the key differentiator between Kabbee and other minicab apps on the market, this is Thriev’s point of advantage too.  Thriev recharges its vehicles overnight using a state-of-the-art, rapid technology chargepoint network that is on average 12-14 times more efficient than the majority of installed chargepoints.

Justin Peters, Kabbee’s Founder and CEO comments on the partnership: “With the Thriev fleet on the Kabbee platform, our ‘green’ offering now accounts for 10 percent of all minicabs that are available via the app.

“We’ve experienced a tenfold increase in ‘green’ minicab bookings just in the last six months, which is great, and because they can often cost less than regular minicabs, we expect to see this figure increase further.

“Kabbee was designed to revolutionise a fragmented minicab market, and ‘make minicabs mighty’.  Our sophisticated technology enables Kabbee to match supply and demand, to ensure minicab drivers are always available, and to avoid dead mileage.  If we can transport more people around London with less impact on the environment, we’re happy.”

Thriev’s CEO Arvind Vij comments on the partnership: “Londoners are busy, and getting around is very rarely considered in the interest of the environment. 

“The greatest thing about this partnership is that we are bringing EVs into the mainstream and reaching hundreds of thousands of Londoners.  With every five-mile journey undertaken by a Thriev vehicle, it prevents 1kg of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere, along with a myriad of other harmful gases, emissions and particulates.

“In the short term, this is a great way to encourage people that may have not considered using an electric vehicle, to give them a go, and in the long run, this partnership will contribute to substantially reducing all passengers’ carbon footprint.”
