Uber and Tata Motors have joined forces to bring 25,000 electric vehicles (EVs) to India’s rideshare network. This is the largest commitment between an automaker and rideshare platform in India, and a major step towards Uber’s goal of a 100% zero-emission fleet globally by 2040.
Tata Motors, one of India’s leading automakers, has been a pioneer in the EV market, accounting for 44,000 of the 51,172 EVs sold in India. Its lineup includes the Tata Tiago, India’s most affordable electric vehicle with a starting price of just over $10,000 (INR 869 Lakh).
The partnership between Uber and Tata Motors will launch 25,000 XPRES-T EVs this month. The XPRES-T EV sedan features a high energy battery density of 26 kWh and 25.5 kWh and a 72 V three-phase AC induction electric motor. It also has two range options – 315 kilometers (195 miles) and 277 kilometers (172 miles).
This partnership is significant for India, which is just beginning to gain traction in zero-emission EVs. The country has set an EV sales penetration target of 30% private cars, 70% commercial cars, 40% of buses, and 80% two and three-wheelers by 2030.
Uber and Tata Motors’ collaboration is a major step towards achieving this goal and advancing zero-emissions EVs in India. It is also a great example of how companies can work together to reduce emissions and protect the environment.
