On Friday 5 November, Toyota and the taxi service DRIVR have put over 100 hydrogen taxis on the roads in Copenhagen, supporting the political goals for a greener taxi industry. The Danish government's aim is that no new taxis emit CO2 or air pollution from 2025 and by 2030 all moving taxis must be zero-emission cars.

The app-based taxi service, DRIVR, is one of the taxi companies that is at the forefront of the mobility transition. As a customer it has long been possible to choose between hybrid, electric and hydrogen cars. Now DRIVR significantly increases the number of hydrogen taxis in the fleet and has put over 100 hydrogen taxis on the roads in Copenhagen at the beginning of November in collaboration with Toyota.

“The many new taxis help create the necessary take-off of hydrogen at the service stations, which is essential for the development of the infrastructure,” said Tejs Laustsen Jensen, CEO Hydrogen Denmark.

After one of Denmark's largest public tenders for taxi services, the City of Copenhagen, has chosen DRIVR to handle the entire municipality's so-called ‘adhoc taxi service’. This means that children with disabilities, mentally challenged citizens, citizens on their way to the hospital, municipal employees on duty and politicians will in future be transported completely emission-free in hydrogen cars when driving by taxi.

“We are pleased to have delivered the first 100 hydrogen taxis to DRIVR and are ready to deliver even more going forward. In this way, we support their mission to be the greenest taxi company in Denmark,” said Alar Metsson, CEO Toyota Denmark.
