Blacklane, the global provider of premium chauffeur services, has announced a strategic partnership with electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid to expand sustainable and luxurious mobility solutions across Saudi Arabia.
Through this partnership, Lucid vehicles will be integrated into Blacklane’s premium ride-hailing platform across the Kingdom. The collaboration will support Blacklane’s goal of doubling its operations in the region by the end of 2025, with plans to expand in key cities such as Riyadh and Jeddah.
This agreement marks Blacklane’s most ambitious initiative to date, aiming to broaden the availability of electric vehicle options in the luxury mobility sector while advancing Lucid’s mission to offer more opportunities to experience its high-tech EVs in the region. Both companies will also collaborate to support the deployment of EV charging infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.
Dr. Jens Wohltorf, CEO and Co-founder of Blacklane, stated:
“Our partnership with Lucid is a crucial step toward fulfilling our global mission to offer high-quality, sustainable, and scalable mobility solutions.
It also represents a milestone in promoting electric transportation in the Kingdom. Together, we’re investing to set new industry standards and are proud to be part of Saudi Arabia’s thriving, innovation-driven business culture under Vision 2030.”
Faisal Sultan, Vice President and Managing Director of Lucid Middle East, added:
“Our collaboration with Blacklane underscores our strong commitment to leading the future of mobility in Saudi Arabia.
Through this partnership, Blacklane guests will have access to Lucid vehicles, including the award-winning Lucid Air sedan and the upcoming Lucid Gravity SUV, known for its exceptional range, comfort, and spaciousness.”
The Lucid Air will be available immediately to Blacklane guests, with the Lucid Gravity set to follow later this year. Blacklane will also become Lucid’s official chauffeur services partner in cities across the Kingdom
