Wait 5 sec.

Malta-founded eCabs Technologies has announced a new milestone in its European growth after Bulgaria’s leading taxi operator completed a full migration to its ride-hailing platform.Volt Premium Taxi, one of the main taxi operators in Sofia, has officially transitioned from the UK-based Sherlock platform to eCabs Technologies.The move means the Maltese company is now powering taxi operations in the Bulgarian capital at a significant moment for the country’s transport market.Bulgaria is currently the only EU member state without major global ride-hailing platforms, although market entry is expected later this year. This is likely to increase competition on pricing, speed and service quality.Volt Premium Taxi said the migration is aimed at improving reliability, reducing cancellations and creating a stronger operational base ahead of expected market changes.eCabs Technologies CEO Matthew Bezzina said the partnership reflects a broader trend across Europe, where traditional operators are investing in stronger technology to remain competitive.He said companies are increasingly prioritising agility, performance and continuous improvement as customer expectations rise.Volt Premium Taxi Co-founder and CEO Oggy Popov described Sofia as being at a turning point, saying the company wants to lead change rather than react to it.Founded in Malta, eCabs Technologies launched as a local premium ride-hailing brand in 2010 before expanding into a software platform serving operators internationally.The company now supports operations across Malta, Romania, Germany, Sweden, Greece, Bulgaria, the Netherlands and Australia, with further launches expected in the coming months.•
