Leading provider of energy infrastructure and services for EVs, SUN Mobility has partnered with Zomato to power 50,000 electric two-wheelers (e-2Ws) across India over the next 24 months using its battery swap solutions for last-mile deliveries.
The association has been confirmed in Delhi with an initial fleet deployment.
Anant Badjatya, CEO, Sun Mobility, said “By deploying 50,000 electric two-wheelers in Zomato’s fleet, we are reducing our carbon footprint by 5000 MT/month and contributing to a cleaner environment. We believe that this association will not only benefit the environment but also provide a better experience for delivery partners and the customers.”
Mohit Sardana, COO-Food Delivery, Zomato added, “As we grow and create new gigs and opportunities in the last-mile delivery ecosystem, the environment must not bear the burden of this growth. Our associations in the past and now with Sun Mobility to swap batteries will accelerate the transition to EV-based deliveries, further helping us keep our promise of a sustainable Zomato for customers, delivery partners, employees and the planet.”
The partners say the move is aligned with Zomato’s commitment to ‘The Climate Group’s EV100 initiative that implies 100% EV adoption by 2030’ and is also in line with Sun Mobility’s mission to electrify last-mile deliveries in India.
Through this association, the last-mile delivery partners onboarded on Zomato’s platform will benefit from convenient and cost-effective battery-swapping solutions for their e-two-wheelers. The swappable battery technology will enable the last-mile delivery partners to easily and quickly swap their depleted batteries for fully charged ones at Sun Mobility Swap Points.
This the partners say will reduce the downtime for recharging, increase the efficiency of the last-mile delivery operations and contribute to a cleaner environment by reducing emissions.
