Cab aggregator Uber has started running a pilot using electric cabs in select regions of the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR) in a bid to cut emissions. The Uber Electric feature is available to riders under the Reserve feature on the mobile application.
“We have begun offering riders the choice of an electric vehicle on pre-scheduled trips under the Reserve feature on the Uber app. Uber Electric remains limited to parts of Delhi-NCR currently,” an Uber spokesperson told DH.
As the leading mobility app in India, the company is committed to supporting the Indian government’s emission goals, the spokesperson added.
The move was partly driven by the government’s appeal towards companies to cut emissions, said an expert.
