Cabify is a Spanish mobility service provider that, like Uber, uses an app to arrange rides with private cars and taxis. Founded in 2011, the company operates primarily in Spain and Latin America. Škoda has now announced the delivery of 200 new Elroq models to the company. These vehicles are intended for Vecttor, Cabify’s Spanish subsidiary, which is electrifying its fleet to advance its 2030 Decarbonisation Plan throughout its services.
With the delivery of the 200 new Elroq vehicles, Škoda is building the brand’s largest electric vehicle fleet in Spain to date. The electric cars will be deployed in Barcelona and Seville, where they will replace a significant portion of the existing fleet in the Andalusian capital. Combined with the 120 units of the same model already delivered for the Madrid location, Cabify’s fleet will now grow to a total of 320 Škoda Elroq vehicles.
The model in use is the Škoda Elroq 85 Selection, equipped with an 82-kWh battery and a WLTP range of approximately 570 kilometres. In urban traffic, the electric car should have a range of up to 720 kilometres. The Elroq 85 charges at up to 175 kW, reaching 80 per cent from 10 per cent in 29 minutes, and features a heat pump.
This order aligns with the growing demand for the Škoda Elroq, which currently holds the second spot among the best-selling electric cars in Europe and consistently ranks among the top ten electric models in the Spanish market. In addition to its collaboration with Cabify, the automaker is fulfilling other large orders for companies and institutions on the Iberian Peninsula, including 167 Enyaq units for the energy company Endesa and 90 Enyaq vehicles for the Guardia Civil.
Fidel Jiménez de Parga, Managing Director of Škoda Spain, highlighted the successful delivery of 320 vehicles in just over a year and announced further expansion of the partnership. Alberto González, Managing Director of Cabify Spain, also emphasised the strategic importance of the alliance: “We remain steadfast in our 2030 decarbonisation plan and pursue the clear goal of ensuring all Cabify rides take place in zero-emission vehicles. The partnership with Škoda is a strategic step, as we share common values, visions, and a clear objective.”
