Manchester-based taxi dispatch provider, Autocab, and zTrip, the largest taxi fleet operator in the United States, have formed a collaboration that will see thousands of journeys daily powered by technology. The US firm, which operates in 40 cities across 20 states, has announced that Autocab’s technology will be installed in 3,600 vehicles.
The first vehicles using Autocab’s technology are operational in Las Vegas, a location zTrip expanded into in 2025 with more than 500 cars. The implementation will then continue with key cities before moving onto the operator’s entire network.
The booking and dispatch software includes a set of services such as passenger and driver applications, an accounts portal, automated call handling, and analytics.The Las Vegas implementation has been the most straightforward roll-out zTrip has ever completed, according to the company, and substantial improvements in dispatch efficiency are expected.
Safa Alkateb, Chief Executive Officer of Autocab, said: “Autocab, which has customers in 33 countries, is already the trusted supplier to some of the world’s largest taxi companies, and this landmark partnership with zTrip further demonstrates the strength and scalability of our technology. “By powering fleets across the US and North America at this scale, we’re helping drivers boost their earnings and operators improve efficiency, setting a new standard for the industry.”
Bill George, founder of WHC Worldwide, the parent company of zTrip, said: “After an extensive review of the world’s leading taxi dispatch technology providers, we selected Autocab because its technology clearly stands out as the best. “Autocab’s software is a true game-changer for our fleets. It will drive higher revenue by enabling drivers to operate more efficiently and maximise their earning potential. “We’re working hand in hand with the Autocab team to ensure a smooth, phased roll-out of the platform and we’re very pleased with the progress so far.”
