Gett and Sherbet have announced a new collaboration that will bring an additional 400 electric taxis to Gett’s network.

This new arrangement gives Gett’s customers access to the Sherbet electric taxi fleet directly from Gett’s app and web platform, helping users to reduce their carbon footprint.

Gett drivers are also set to benefit from the collaboration, with Sherbet offering new, exclusive discounts at their Putney LEVC warranty and service centre, as well as up to 4 weeks free rental of a 2023 plate Sherbet electric taxi.

The Sherbet/Gett collaboration adds on-demand bookings to Sherbet’s system, which previously only offered pre-booked ride bookings, improving the opportunity to earn for Sherbet taxi drivers.

With several new high profile corporate customers onboarded to Gett recently, Sherbet drivers are expected to benefit from extra demand for their services. Providing an additional pool of fully licensed, professional drivers to the Gett customer base is also expected to help maintain levels of reliability.

Guy Gaash, VP of Global Partnerships at Gett, said: “We are delighted to welcome Sherbet to our network, especially at a time we are expecting a trend towards higher growth in demand for business travel and last-mile transport solutions. We are looking forward to a productive collaboration that fits our sustainable approach to ground transportation.

“This is an important milestone for Gett and one that gives us an opportunity to support our customers by giving them access to a reputable eco-fleet, and our current driver base by deepening the range of benefits available to them.”

Asher Moses, CEO of Sherbet, said: “This collaboration brings our award-winning Sherbet electric fleet onto one of the UK’s leading ground transport platform and this will help Gett’s corporate customers meet their CSR goals, as it will boost the number of electric black cabs available on the platform, helping more businesses reduce their carbon footprint as they travel throughout London.

“For Sherbet drivers, this deal means more work and greater value from being part of the growing Sherbet family. For many years a number of aggregator services have wanted to gain access to the Sherbet fleet, but in Gett, we have found the right partner for the first time, as they align with our values on bringing the benefits of cleaner, more efficient transport to a wider audience across the capital.”
