SOFIA, BULGARIA & SAN JOSE, CALIF. — September 22, 2026 — Volt Premium Taxi, the region’s leading upscale transport provider, and Tensor, a global leader in agentic and physical AI, today announced a joint partnership to deploy Eastern Europe’s first fully autonomous robotaxi fleet.
Through this strategic agreement, Volt will place an initial order of 200 purpose-built Tensor vehicles, with a long-term goal to order and deploy up to 2,000 vehicles across the region, making Bulgaria the launchpad for the next evolution of premium urban mobility. The rollout will debut in Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia, with concrete plans to scale into adjacent regional markets. This collaboration directly aligns both companies’ core commitment to delivering unparalleled luxury, privacy, and cutting-edge Level 4 autonomy to mid-to-high segment customers and tech-forward early adopters.

"The future of urban transit isn’t just electric, it’s autonomous and around-the-clock," said Oggy Popov, Founder of Volt. "By introducing Tensor’s state-of-the-art robotaxis to Sofia, we aren’t just updating our fleet; we are establishing an entirely new ecosystem for premium, driverless mobility in Eastern Europe."

While traditional transit operates on human schedules, Volt and Tensor are driving toward a future of seamless, 24/7 autonomous public and private transport. By combining Tensor’s Level 4 autonomous technology and full-stack redundancy with Volt’s premier upscale transport ecosystem, the partnership delivers an elite, driverless experience that meets rigorous safety and comfort standards. With robust regulatory frameworks currently being finalized at both the EU and local levels, the road is clear for an uncompromising premium transport experience in Sofia.

"The exact same engineering rigor and advanced technology that make the Tensor Robocar perfectly suited for personal ownership are what make it an ideal asset for commercial fleets," added Jay Xiao, Chief Executive Officer at Tensor. "Our purpose-built, automotive-grade Level 4 architecture is engineered for the ultimate reliability and full-stack redundancy. By designing for the highest standard of individual consumer expectations, we have built a physical AI platform that inherently helps fleet operators like Volt scale seamlessly and maintain continuous, round-the-clock operations."

Key Highlights of the Partnership:

• Autonomous Fleet Expansion: Volt will place an initial order of 200 purpose-built Tensor autonomous vehicles, laying the foundation toward a long-term goal of ordering and deploying 2,000 vehicles as the network expands across regional markets.
  ‍
• Local Infrastructure & Tech Hub: Volt will independently build and manage the specialized infrastructure required to service, maintain, and support the robotaxis directly in Sofia.
  ‍
• Regional Pioneers: This initiative cements Volt as the first upscale transport provider in Eastern Europe to develop dedicated operational expertise and localized knowledge around managing autonomous taxi networks.
  ‍
• World-Class Technical Ecosystem: Powered by Tensor’s full-stack hardware and software, the vehicles leverage world-class collaborations with strategic partners—including NVIDIA, Oracle, and Arm—to ensure the highest-performing, most power-efficient, and secure compute architecture available.
