Uber to launch ‘all-electric’ service in Bengaluru from June

The global ride-sharing app Uber on Wednesday announced that it will introduce ‘all-electric’ service in Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai starting from June as part of its commitment to become a zero-emissions mobility platform by 2040.

The new service called ‘Uber Green’ will allow passengers to request an all-electric, zero tail-pipe emission vehicle rather than a regular fossil-fuelled car. This will be an on-demand service.

Prabhjeet Singh, President, Uber India, and South Asia, said the ‘Uber Green’ service will be first introduced in three cities starting from June and gradually expanded to other cities.

Uber also announced signing of a series of agreements to enable faster adoption of electric vehicles.
