Palma's Carriage Drivers Unveil Their Horse-Free Replacement
Something important has changed in Palma.
The city's carriage drivers have unveiled the final design of the electric carriage intended to replace horses, with the first vehicles planned for 2027. And more than half of Palma's carriage drivers reportedly want to make the switch. The €45,000 electric carriage will now be presented to Palma City Council for approval, while regulations governing the service will need to be changed. The eventual aim is to replace all of Palma's horse-drawn carriages with electric alternatives. For years, we have been told horse-drawn carriages are a tradition that cannot simply disappear. Now the industry itself has helped design the replacement.
The alternative exists. Drivers want it. Other Mallorcan towns are already using electric carriages. Palma City Council needs to stop delaying and set a binding date for the horses to be permanently retired.
