Mahindra and Uber join hands to advance electric mobility in India

Mahindra in association with Uber will be deploying hundreds of EVs in Delhi and Hyderabad. Mahindra will be supplying the e2O Plus and the eVerito, which will join the Uber fleet. As part of this collaboration, both the companies will also explore deployment of Mahindra electric vehicles to other cities.

“Electric vehicle adoption is clearly gaining momentum in India.  As the pioneers of electric vehicles in the country we would like to be at the forefront, leading this change toward smart and sustainable mobility. Our collaboration with Uber is an important next step to help accelerate the large scale adoption of electric vehicles on shared mobility platforms, and meet the nation’s vision for EVs,” said Pawan Goenka, Managing Director, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd.

Mahindra will also be providing electric vehicle related driver education and training programmes. This seeks to address the lack of education as regards to the concept of electric mobility in India. Mahindra hopes that this will speed up the development of charging infrastructure in the country.
