Reportedly ride-hailing giant Uber on Wednesday announced a partnership with SUN Mobility to deploy e-autos in india. Meanwhile Uber said this partnership will be piloted across select cities in the coming months. Furthermore as part of the alliance, SUN Mobility will offer its unique energy infrastructure platform, which includes swappable smart batteries and quick interchange stations to select original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for building e-autos.
Accordingly fleet owners and Uber's driver partners will benefit because they can buy vehicles without the battery to save money on initial acquisition costs and t hey will receive charged, swappable batteries as a service by SUN Mobility, thereby helping bring the overall cost of e-autos in line with their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterpart.
pradeep Parameswaran, President Uber, india and South Asia, said in a statement "We are delighted to partner with SUN Mobility, an industry pioneer to try to usher in a wave of electric vehicles in the mass market category. He said "This is an important step forward in fulfilling our vision for creating a mobility ecosystem that is sustainable, provides cleaner air and helps build smarter cities across the region”.
