Blacklane has signed a strategic partnership with electric vehicle maker Lucid Group to expand its sustainable fleet in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The partnership will support Blacklane’s plans to double operations in the region by the end of 2025, including significantly expanding services in key cities like Riyadh and Jeddah.
Lucid and Blacklane will also work together to support the rollout of EV charging infrastructure in the region.
“Our relationship with Lucid marks a significant step forward in our global mission to deliver high-end, sustainable and scalable mobility solutions and a key milestone to further electrifying the Kingdom,” said Dr. Jens Wohltorf, CEO and co-founder of Blacklane.
“Together we are investing to set new industry standards and are proud to be part of a thriving and innovative business culture in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, fostered by Vision 2030.”
As part of the partnership, Lucid will adopt Blacklane as the company’s chauffeur partner of choice in various cities across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
“Partnering with Blacklane reflects our strong commitment to pioneering the future of mobility in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” said Faisal Sultan, President, Middle East at Lucid.
“Through this partnership, Blacklane guests will now have access to the Lucid lineup, including the award-winning Lucid Air sedan and the new Lucid Gravity SUV, offering superior range, elevated comfort, and extensive room for guests and all their luggage.”
The Lucid Air sedan will be available to Blacklane guests immediately and the Lucid Gravity SUV will be added later this year as the rollout of the new SUV intensifies.
