Bolt Drive proudly announces the addition of the legendary first‑generation Škoda Fabia in its iconic pistachio colour to its fleet.

This step blends nostalgia with modern technology and offers a one‑of‑a‑kind driving experience for every lover of automotive history.

Do you remember it? The Fabia in the “Fantasy Green” shade (paint code 5Y5Y) captured the hearts of the Czech public at the turn of the millennium—even though so few were made.

Between 1999 and 2002, only 8,116 units rolled out of the factory, comprising 6,954 hatchbacks, 1,156 estates and a mere 6 saloons. Today, this colour rarity is a collector’s gem, living on in fan pages and drivers’ hearts alike. Bolt has decided to return that love to the roads—at full throttle.

“At Bolt Drive, we’re always looking for new ways to make car‑sharing more fun and a bit more special. In some cities, we’ve added cars like Porsches or BMWs to the fleet because we simply love the driving experience. But this time we took a different route—one that fuses nostalgia with technology. Meet the Pistachio Fabia—an authentic icon of Czech roads that is now joining our fleet,” explains Fabián Strecker, General Manager of Bolt Drive for the Czech Republic.

To adapt this 25‑year‑old legend to today’s car‑sharing standards, technicians have equipped it with the latest technologies the Fabia could only have dreamed of at the time of production:

● Advanced GPS tracking: Enables real‑time monitoring of location, speed and fuel level, ensuring efficient vehicle management.
● Carvaloo AI sensors: Automatically detect vehicle damage, enhancing safety and providing precise information about any incidents.
● Modern touchscreen radio: Supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless smartphone integration.

Under the bonnet beats a heart familiar to an entire generation of Czech drivers—the reliable 1.4 MPI petrol engine paired with a manual gearbox. Simple, low‑maintenance and delivering up to 60 hp: the ideal companion for everyday trips and nostalgic weekend drives.

To drive it, you must meet the following requirements:

● Minimum age of 20 and at least 1 year of driving experience.
● At least five successfully completed trips with Bolt Drive.

“We’ve connected history with modern technology. This project is also the first of its kind across all Bolt Drive markets. At the same time, it’s an affordable option—the price starts at CZK 2 per minute and CZK 3 per kilometre. We believe this experiment will appeal to many users, and if it proves successful, we already have similar projects in the pipeline,” adds Fabián Strecker.
