SUSTAINABILITY IN FOCUS: CABONLINE’S JOURNEY
Cabonline, the biggest taxi network in the Nordics, is making real progress in going green. With about 4,000 cars running across Norway, Finland, and Sweden, they’re proving that moving towards an electric future is not just possible—it makes sense for both the planet and business.

More and More Electric Cars
Right now, 36% of Cabonline’s fleet is electric, and in cities like Stockholm, Helsinki, and Oslo, that number is even higher. The company has come a long way in a short time, showing that if taxis—cars that are always on the move—can run on electricity, then any business can make the switch too.
“Our cars drive about 500 km a day and charge while working. If we can do it, others can too,” says a Cabonline representative.
Going Fully Electric by 2030
Cabonline has been serious about eco-friendly cars for a while. Back in 2010, they made sure all their vehicles met environmental standards. Now, they’ve set a bigger goal: by 2030, they want every car in their fleet to be electric.
Switching to electric wasn’t always easy. They had to deal with concerns about battery range, car design, and costs. But instead of waiting for everything to be perfect, they took the plunge. “We saw the challenges, but we knew we had to start somewhere,” they explain.
And things have improved over time. The cost of running electric taxis has gone down, and charging stations are easier to find. Now, operating an electric taxi business is not just doable—it’s better than before.

Leading the Way in Green Transport
Cabonline is the only taxi company in the Nordics with climate targets approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative, which aligns with the Paris Agreement. They also have ISO certifications for quality and sustainability. And they expect their partners and suppliers to meet strict green standards, including using renewable electricity.

Wireless Charging—A Game Changer
Cabonline is also trying out something new: wireless charging. Working with Volvo Cars, Momentum Dynamics, and Business Region Göteborg, they’ve introduced 20 electric taxis in Gothenburg that can charge without plugging in. The cars simply park in the right spot, and charging happens automatically.
“Drivers love it. It’s quick, easy, and they don’t have to step out into bad weather. The results so far have been really promising,” says the Cabonline spokesperson.

Don’t Wait—Start Now
Cabonline’s journey shows that switching to electric isn’t just good for the environment—it makes financial sense too. While there are still some challenges, especially in rural areas, things are improving fast.
“Charging in big cities isn’t a problem anymore, and the benefits are clear. The key is to start now and work through the challenges as they come. Waiting for the ‘perfect moment’ means waiting too long.”
By taking action today, Cabonline is setting an example for others to follow. Their story proves that going green isn’t just possible—it’s the way forward.
