Uber makes mega green push in India

New Delhi, May 24 (UNI) Providing on-demand green mobility solution, ride-sharing platform Uber on Wednesday announced the rollout of Uber Green allowing passengers in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru to request an all-electric vehicle rather than a regular fossil-fuelled car.
The Uber Green service would be available from June, 2023.
"Uber Green is the most widely available on-demand mobility solution in the world for no or low emission rides, present in 100 plus cities in 15 countries around the world," the company said.
The cab aggregator also announced a slew of partnerships to electrify its services in India. Accordingly, it has tied up with startup Zypp Electric to deploy 10,000 electric two-wheelers by 2024 to boost sustainable mobility.
Uber said that it is expanding its network of fleet partners to unlock EV growth on its platform.
"Lithium Urban Technologies, India’s largest B2B fleet service provider, Everest Fleet Private Limited, and Moove, Uber’s global fleet partner, will deploy 25,000 electric vehicles across Uber’s top seven cities helping drivers go electric faster," it said.
Uber also said that it has signed an MoU with Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) to support the purchase of cleaner fuel vehicles.
The company said that it is forging two significant partnerships in the field of charging infrastructure to enable the drivers on Uber platform to get access to their charging networks and also enable new charging infra development.
The tech-powered cab service provider has also signed an MoU with GMR Green energy to create charging facilities.
“India’s huge scale and electrification momentum makes the country a priority for Uber as we seek to meet our commitment to electrify every ride on our platform by 2040," said Andrew Macdonald, Senior Vice President, Mobility and Business Operations at Uber.
Uber has committed to become a zero-emissions mobility platform by 2030 in Europe and North America, and globally by 2040.
