ETIOCA · United Kingdom

The ETIOCA British taxi, rebuilt for both drivers and passengers.

A new kind of taxi company with our own purpose-built electric cars, our own salaried drivers and one app. It means fewer cars on Britain's roads, more than 100,000 salaried driving jobs with holiday pay and a pension, and every car sponsoring 21 children: one here in Britain, ten in Sierra Leone and ten in Morocco.

What is ETIOCA?

A taxi company that owns its cars, employs its drivers and runs one app. Think Uber, but with its own fleet.

Who is it for?

Drivers who want a steady wage, passengers who want a better ride, and towns that want fewer cars.

What changes?

One ETIOCA car does the work of about eight, because three drivers share it across 20 hours a day and every trip goes to the nearest car, so it rarely drives empty.

Why it matters

Every car sponsors 21 children, one in Britain and twenty abroad, paid for by its screens and the services on board.

Monthly children support programme

Every ETIOCA car sponsors twenty-one children.

An ordinary taxi earns only from fares. An ETIOCA car also earns from its screens, mini-bar, shop and wallet, and 9% of every car's profit goes to children, so fares don't go up to pay for it. Each month that pays for one child or family here in Britain, in the town where the car works, towards education, health and everyday needs, and for ten children each in Sierra Leone and Morocco, for schooling, food and healthcare. The more cars on the road, the more children supported: our first 12,000 British cars, planned for the first half of 2028, mean 252,000 children supported every month.

The old way vs the ETIOCA way

Robotaxis cut drivers. We protect them, and you.

Self-driving pilots are starting in England, and ride-hailing has a safety problem: London's police recorded 204 sexual offences by taxi and private-hire drivers against passengers in 2023, and four in ten drivers say they've faced violence at work. We're building the opposite: more jobs, and a car designed to keep everyone safe.

  • A solid wall between the driver and the passenger cabin.
  • Cameras protecting passengers and drivers on every trip.
  • Online alcohol interlock: a sober driver, every time.
  • Automatic speed limits: no speeding and no racing.
  • A full antiviral disinfection cycle after every trip, from spray to UV, against viruses including coronaviruses.
  • Mini-bar, coffee, shop, Wi-Fi, screens and an AI assistant, at an everyday fare.
  • Room for two bikes, skis or golf clubs, and luggage up to 120 kg.
Fewer cars doing more work

The work of 350,000 taxis and private-hire cars, done by a smaller, cleaner fleet.

England has 342,300 licensed taxis and private-hire cars. Most are one driver's own car, working one shift and waiting or cruising between fares. ETIOCA replaces them rather than adding to them: drivers bring their licence to ETIOCA and leave the old car behind, and one coordinated electric fleet shared by three shifts does the same work with far fewer vehicles.
