Refex eVeelz Adds 170+ EV Taxis to Bengaluru Airport Fleet

Refex eVeelz, a pioneer in electric vehicle (EV) mobility solutions, has expanded its presence at Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR Airport) with the addition of 170+ eco-friendly EV taxis to the already existing nearly 200 cars. This initiative offers passengers a greener and more efficient transit option between Bengaluru city and the airport. The induction of these vehicles is part of a strategic collaboration with the airport operator through the "Airport Taxi" service.

The fleet enhancement was flagged off by Honorable Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, Shri D.K. Shivakumar, who inaugurated the initiative during a prominent event, underscoring the state's dedication to sustainable development and clean transportation.

Promoting clean mobility options, Refex eVeelz has now deployed and is currently operating over 570 electric vehicles in Bengaluru, greatly contributing to the city's carbon emission reduction efforts and bolstering the sustainability goals of BIAL as well. This development is consistent with the goal of modernizing the city's transportation network by giving commuters access to calmer and more environmentally friendly options.

Hon. Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, Shri D.K. Shivakumar, present at the launch, articulated his vision for sustainable transport: "The introduction of these EV taxis marks a pivotal advancement in positioning Bengaluru as a frontrunner in green mobility. I commend Refex eVeelz and BIAL for their dedication to sustainability and for providing travelers with an eco-friendly alternative to traditional transport methods."

Yash Jain, Director, RGML (Refex Group Mobility Limited) emphasized the significance of this launch: "This expansion is a significant step for us where our goal is to provide sustainable and dependable transportation for airport travelers while simultaneously minimizing the environmental footprint of urban mobility. By inducting these new EV cars into our fleet, we are strengthening our system to enhance the passenger experience and making significant progress towards a more sustainable future for Bengaluru and beyond."
