By combining Viggo’s local expertise with Bolt’s technology and scale, we will offer riders a seamless, high-quality experience while creating better earning opportunities for drivers. We are committed to investing in Denmark for the long term—bringing more competition, innovation, and sustainable mobility solutions to cities across the country,”.

Kenneth Herschel, CEO, Viggo said, "Viggo was founded to provide a high-quality, sustainable taxi experience, and we are proud of what we have achieved. Joining Bolt allows us to scale our impact, benefiting both drivers and passengers with new technology, increased demand, and continued commitment to quality.”
