Blacklane, a global leader in premium chauffeur services, has entered a strategic partnership with Lucid Motors, the innovative electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, to redefine luxury transportation in Saudi Arabia.

This bold collaboration aims to blend sustainable technology with premium mobility. This will help in bringing Lucid’s cutting-edge electric vehicles to Blacklane’s ride-hailing fleet across the Kingdom.

Luxury Meets Sustainability

Through this partnership, Lucid’s EVs will be integrated into Blacklane’s high-end chauffeur services in major Saudi cities, including Riyadh and Jeddah. The move is part of Blacklane’s broader plan to double its operations in the region by the end of 2025.

  • âś… Lucid Air sedans will be the first to join the fleet
  • âś… Lucid Gravity SUVs will follow later in the year
  • âś… Focus on delivering luxury, comfort, and zero-emission rides
  • âś… Launching in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030 and green mobility goals

This initiative is more than just a fleet expansion—it’s a step toward reshaping the future of luxury transportation in the Kingdom.

Supporting Infrastructure Growth

In addition to fleet deployment, both companies will work together to expand EV charging infrastructure across Saudi Arabia. This is a vital move in making electric transport more accessible and scalable in a region still heavily reliant on combustion engines.

  • âś… Charging network expansion planned for key urban zones
  • âś… Encouraging broader EV adoption in the private and commercial sectors
  • âś… Helping Saudi Arabia build a future-ready mobility ecosystem

Leadership Perspectives

Dr. Jens Wohltorf, CEO and Co-founder of Blacklane, emphasized the global importance of this collaboration:

“Our partnership with Lucid is a crucial step toward delivering premium, sustainable, and scalable mobility solutions. It also marks a major milestone in advancing electric transport in Saudi Arabia. Together, we’re proud to contribute to the Kingdom’s innovation-driven culture under Vision 2030.”

Faisal Sultan, Vice President and Managing Director of Lucid Middle East, added:

“This collaboration underscores our commitment to shaping the future of mobility in Saudi Arabia. Blacklane’s guests will soon enjoy Lucid vehicles like the award-winning Lucid Air and the upcoming Lucid Gravity—known for comfort, range, and luxury.”

A sign of confidence in the region

This partnership aligns perfectly with Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia’s national roadmap to diversify the economy and embrace clean technologies. With a focus on smart cities, green energy, and world-class infrastructure, initiatives like this signal the country’s rapid shift toward eco-conscious innovation.

Moreover, Blacklane will become Lucid’s official chauffeur services partner in cities throughout the Kingdom, reinforcing both brands’ positions as leaders in luxury, sustainability, and technology.
