Dubai Taxi Company PJSC (DTC), reinforcing its position as Dubai’s largest taxi operator, has acquired another 250 new license plates for its taxi fleet in the recent auction by the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), bringing its total taxi fleet to 6,210 vehicles.
This expansion is set to generate additional annual revenues of approximately AED 85 million. The new addition will be fully allocated for electric vehicles, raising DTC’s environmentally friendly fleet (hybrid and electric vehicles) to about 87% of its total taxi and limousine fleet. This strategic addition is in line with the UAE’s Year of Sustainability and DTC’s commitment to sustainable and innovative transport solutions, reflecting its ongoing efforts toward global leadership in eco-friendly mobility.
DTC is committed to enhancing the customer experience through advanced transportation services that adhere to international standards, positioning Dubai as a global hub for sustainable urban mobility.

reduce emissions, maximise operational efficiency, and contribute to environmental preservation. These efforts align with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and the Dubai Government’s strategic goals of achieving comprehensive environmental sustainability in the transportation sector.
