Evolet India, a Gurugram based electric vehicle Startup, has taken a pledge to plant and maintain a tree for every e-scooter sold. At the promotion of Bollywood movie 'Sab Kushal Mangal' Sqn. Ldr. Prerana Chaturvedi, Executive Director & CEO - Evolet, said, "Programs like these help to reinforce the importance for switching to electric vehicles. This innovative mode of transportation will make the concept of Electric bikes even greener and more attractive by planting and maintaining trees with the support of our customers thereby engaging local communities as well to develop sustainable farming. The company has allocated 100 acres of land under its umbrella of Rissala Group situated at Karnal, Haryana for this noble initiative. To promote the growth of native ecosystems, Evolet is going ahead with plantation of indigenous trees and pledges to plant & nurture a lac of trees per year”.
The company has taken this decision as a part of CSR initiative and will be implemented immediately. Calling the initiative 'Let's heal the planet', Mr Nitin Manmohan, Bollywood Film Producer, said, "We all are aware of the harmful fumes coming out of the fossil fuel based vehicles and the noise pollution that they generate. E-scooters not only help curtail noise and air pollution but also are more pocket-friendly. Mobility is important but that does not mean that we should ignore the environment in which we are moving, This initiative by Evolet is a great step towards raising awareness which will highlight the significance of planting trees and drive every individual to take a step in the direction of developing a green, pollution free country."
