Yulu To Deploy 25000+ Dex EV To Zomato For Intra-city Deliveries
Shared electric Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform, Yulu has joined hands with Zomato for using Yulu DeX EV for intra-city deliveries. Kicking off this project, about 25,000 - 35,000 Yulu DeX will be given to delivery partners onboarded on Zomato’s platform for last-mile deliveries on custom-made rental plans.
Yulu says that their association with Zomato is a significant step towards making last-mile delivery green and efficient. Rising fuel prices and financial challenges are significant barriers for youth who want to onboard themselves as delivery partners.
Yulu has flexible rental packs and allows delivery partners to earn higher earnings compared to ICE-vehicles. Along with this, the delivery partners get access to Yuma Energy’s wide network of battery-swapping stations to minimise their downtime during last-mile deliveries. Once deployed, these 25,000+ Yulu DeX have the potential of serving 3 Lakh green deliveries every day by 2026.
Pradeep Puranam, Head - Revenue & Operations, Yulu said, “With Yulu’s deep understanding of the delivery ecosystem, purpose-built product DeX, robust operations and a wide network of battery swapping stations, our solutions can improve earnings of delivery partners by up to 40 per cent. There is an increasing desire towards reducing carbon footprint among customers as well, so this is a win-win for customers, delivery executives and both the companies.”
Mohit Sardana, COO, Food Delivery at Zomato said, “As part of The Climate Group's EV100 initiative, we have committed to transitioning our delivery fleet to 100 per cent electric, and with Yulu's support, we are glad to be on the right path to achieve this target.”
Over 4,000 delivery partners as of February 2023, onboarded on Zomato’s platform organically utilise Yulu’s EVs to make the last-mile deliveries.Till date, Yulu has enabled 75 Mn+ green deliveries and benefited 50,000+ delivery partners.
