Bolt (Estonia)
Founded in Estonia, Bolt has rapidly grown into one of Europe’s leading transportation platforms, offering a range of services that make urban travel more affordable, reliable, and sustainable. From its humble beginnings as a ride-hailing company, Bolt has expanded its offerings to include electric scooters, bikes, and food delivery, all conveniently accessible through its easy-to-use mobile app. With its commitment to reducing environmental impact, Bolt is not just a transportation provider—it’s a champion for sustainable urban mobility.


The story of Bolt’s rise to prominence is one of innovation and forward-thinking. As cities around the world struggle with traffic congestion and pollution, Bolt recognized an opportunity to provide a greener, more efficient alternative to traditional transport methods. Their solution: a platform that combines ride-hailing services with micro-mobility options like electric scooters and bikes. These eco-friendly alternatives offer commuters flexible, on-demand transportation options that contribute to cleaner, less congested urban environments.


Sustainability is at the core of Bolt’s mission. The company actively promotes shared and electric transportation, helping to reduce carbon emissions and the overall environmental footprint of urban mobility. By integrating electric scooters and bikes into its platform, Bolt offers users a convenient and low-impact way to travel shorter distances, all while reducing reliance on cars for city travel. Furthermore, Bolt continues to expand its fleet of electric vehicles in its ride-hailing services, further supporting its green initiative.

As a recipient of the Global Fred Award, Bolt is recognized for its outstanding leadership in transforming urban mobility through innovation and sustainability. The company’s efforts in providing affordable, convenient, and eco-friendly transportation solutions have not only improved accessibility in cities across Europe but have also set a new standard for the future of urban travel.


Bolt’s vision for the future is clear: to continue building smarter cities where transportation is cleaner, safer, and more sustainable.
