Hyderabad: Automaker Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd on Thursday announced the deployment of 50 of its Electric Vehicles (EVs) to Uber, an on-demand ride-sharing company, to provide zero emission mobility here. Telangana IT Secretary Jayesh Ranjan launched the initiative.
Earlier, Mahindra had announced its collaboration with Uber to explore the deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) on its platform in several cities across the country. To begin with, the companies would deploy 50 Mahindra EVs in the city and scale up over a period of time.
Mahindras electric vehicles on the Uber platform would include the e2oPlus hatchback and the eVerito sedans. To make this model sustainable, Mahindra worked with public and private players who had initially set up over 30 common use charging points across multiple locations here.
"Our collaboration with Uber is aimed at accelerating the largescale adoption of electric vehicles on shared mobility platforms, thereby driving a positive change in daily commute.
Today while thanking the Telangana Government for its support, we are excited to embark on this journey to make shared EV commute eco-friendly and transform the way people in Hyderabad commute," Mahesh Babu, CEO, Mahindra Electric, told the media here.
Going forward, we plan to further deploy our vehicles across multiple cities on the Uber platform, he added.
Through this tie-up, driver partners on the Uber app can avail themselves of a package which would include Mahindra electric vehicles. The package would be priced competitively with attractive financing and insurance premiums as well as comprehensive maintenance packages from Mahindra and its associates.
"Uber is committed towards adoption of cleaner and environmentally-friendly technologies to power urban mobility and our partnership with Mahindra and Mahindra is a step in that direction.
We are excited about the tremendous potential of electric vehicles in India and are committed to supporting the government's vision of building a viable infrastructure to accelerate the speedy induction of even more EVs,'' said Deepankar Tiwari, Head, Vehicle Solutions, Uber, Asia Pacific.
