The Maltese tech company is now powering, taxi operations in Sofia, as Bulgaria prepares for imminent ride-hailing disruption
eCabs Technologies on Tuesday, April 28 announced that Volt Premium Taxi, Bulgaria’s leading taxi operator, has officially completed a full migration to its ridehailing platform.
The move sees Volt Premium Taxi transition from the UK-based Sherlock platform to eCabs Technologies, as it doubles down on a more data-driven, technology-led approach to growth, service reliability, and continuous improvement.
For eCabs Technologies, the partnership with Volt Premium Taxi marks another milestone in its European expansion, as the company continues to power regulated-market operators seeking to modernise ahead of rapid competitive change.
The collaboration comes at a pivotal moment for Bulgaria, currently the only EU country without global ridehailing platforms, with market entry expected this year. As local operators prepare for increased pressure on quality, speed, and pricing, Volt Premium Taxi’s full migration to the eCabs Technologies tech stack signals a proactive strategy: invest early in scalable technology, strengthen operational performance, and retain local ownership of customer relationships.
Commenting on the migration, eCabs Technologies CEO Matthew Bezzina said the shift reflects a broader change happening across Europe, where forward-looking operators are choosing platform capability and agility as non-negotiables.
“This is a clear signal of intent from Volt Premium Taxi’s leadership team, indicating a decisive move towards a modern, data-driven operation that can evolve quickly as the market changes,” Bezzina said.
“In every city we have worked in, once an operator experiences what a high-performance platform enables, expectations rise fast: product, speed, and continuous improvement become the standard. Volt Premium Taxi is positioning itself to raise the bar for Sofia and we’re excited to be along for the ride.”
Oggy Popov, Co-founder and CEO of Volt Premium Taxi, said the company’s move to eCabs Technologies is designed to strengthen reliability, reduce cancellations, and build a scalable operational foundation ahead of increased competition.
“Sofia is at an inflection point. We want Volt Premium Taxi to lead that change, rather than react to it. Migrating fully to eCabs Technologies gives us the technology stack and data capabilities to improve service quality, move faster, and keep raising standards for both customers and drivers. This is an investment in long-term leadership in the Bulgarian market,” he said.
Over the coming weeks, Volt Premium Taxi will continue its rollout with a planned launch window and a full operational ramp-up following the complete migration of drivers and customers, supported by eCabs Technologies’ implementation and operational expertise.
